Comment from the author

This is what Amiga Computing said about this program (version 2.0):

"This is one of the best CD players for the Amiga. There are quite a few out
there but we believe this is the only which features the ability to list the
tracks on your music CDs by name instead of just track number.
 Other feature include random playing, track preview - which plays 10 seconds
of the track - and many other features."

Interplay does only work on WB 3.0 and upwards, and it will probably not be
2.0 compatible!

What is this ?
--------------

  This is a Audio-CD player program for the Amiga. It was designed
  to work with the Archos Overdrive CD-Rom that has been very popular
  on the A1200 but it should work on other drives aswell.


   Amiga Computing:
                    "This is one of the best CD players for the Amiga"

   Amiga Shopper:
                    "Interplay 3.1 is an excellent audio CD player..."

   Amiga Shopper: 
		    "Rolls Royce's of CD Players"					



	Interplay should work fine with the following setups:

		* Archos' Overdrive
		* Zappo CD-Rom
		* SCSI CD-Rom drives under Kickstart 3.1
		* HiSoft's Power CD-Rom (Using squirrel pcmcia scsi-2 interface)
		* Commodore CD32 (with SX-1 Module present)
		* Commodore CD32 (with ProModule present)
		* Other SCSI CD-Roms connected to the Squirrel scsi interface.
                * SCSI CD-Roms connected to Dataflyer SCSI+

	Interplay is reported to be working on these setups:

		* Archos' Overdrive
		* Zappo CD-Rom
		* SCSI CD-Rom using the Squirrel (tm) SCSI controller.
                * SCSI CD-Rom and Kickstart 3.1
		* Commodore CD32 (using the SX-1 module)
		* Commodore CD32 (using the ProModule)
		* HiSoft's Power CD-Rom (Using squirrel pcmcia-
                  scsi-2 interface)


Why did we make this ?
----------------------

  When I first got my Overdrive CD-Rom I looked at the CDDA player that
  Archos made, but I was not quite happy with how it worked and looked.
  Therefor we decided to make a new player based on the Gadtools library
  from Commodore. This gave the player a much better look and it didn't
  open a whole new screen like the one Archos made did, therefor it was
  very handy to have in the back of the workbench window. We also thought
  that the Archos player lacked quite a few features, plus that it
  bugged a bit :)

System requirements
-------------------

  o Amiga with kick 3.0 or higher
  o Overdrive CD-Rom or compatible
  o About 90KB of memory
