24-32 bit mp3 audio decoder plugin for winamp

No, it doesn't.

If your source file is 16-bit outputting in 32-bit will do nothing to improve the sound quality.

Think of it this way. You're taking a photo with a crappy camera. You get that photo printed out on standard photo paper. You then get that photo enlarged and blown up to poster size.

Your photo is simply bigger. You haven't added any more detail to the photo - you've just taken what's already there and made it larger.

This is exactly the same thing. Your source file is 16-bit. Outputting that file in 32-bit will not "add bitrate" and improve the sound quality.
It's really not. A FLAC rip of an album is tiny compared to the sizes of HDDs these days - my 75GB music collection is entirely in FLAC (and some of it is 24-bit/96kHz), and it would take eight days to play through all of it.

Today standards...., and forgoten standards as amiga and atari st/ midi or mod

"""How it Works
High-quality output begins with a highly accurate decoder. MAD fully satisfies the ISO/IEC 11172-4 computational accuracy requirements for compliance. However, accuracy alone is not enough.

Internally, MAD represents the decoded audio signal with high precision. Combined with a form of dither, this allows output samples to be calculated with less objectionable quantization noise and more audible dynamic range than most decoders produce today. The result is unusually high-quality output that is a more faithful reconstruction of the signal encoded in MPEG audio than you may have realized possible.
