TITLE

    CompactPlayer

VERSION

    1.4

AUTHOR

    Osma Ahvenlampi 

DESCRIPTION

    CompactPlayer is a CD Audio player for SCSI CD-ROMs, similar 
    to MCDP, YACDP, CDPD, or CDP.

    CompactPlayer is compatible with MCDP's CD index files. In fact, 
    MCDP had a heavy influence on CompactPlayer, in particular the 
    SCSI routines. 

    CompactPlayer has been developed and tested on an Amiga 3000 
    and Toshiba XM3601B, using AmigaOS 3.1. The SCSI chip used was 
    the -4PROTO model. Compatibility with other CD-ROM devices is 
    unknown.

    CompactPlayer uses the ClassAct GUI toolkit. Source has been
    included as a demo of using ClassAct in an application. However,
    CompactPlayer can not be recompiled without the ClassAct 
    developer kit.

SPECIAL REQUIREMENTS

    A SCSI-2 CD-ROM or some other CD-ROM device that can be accessed
    with SCSI-Direct commands. Some IDE drives attached to A1200 or
    A4000 IDE interface might apply.

    Preferably a couple of audio CDs ;)

    Some ClassAct gadget classes, included in the archive and
    installed by the provided Installer script.

AVAILABILITY

    CompactPlayer has been uploaded to Aminet (ftp.netnet.net) and 
    should be available shortly at the URL:

    ftp://ftp.wustl.edu/pub/aminet/disk/cdrom/CompactPlayer.lha (124570)

PRICE

    GiftWare. A small gift or donation would be appreciated if 
    you use CompactPlayer frequently. This would also encourage me 
    to continue development and add features such as programs, 
    random play and intro play, as well as perhaps a cd.device 
    and/or CD-DA (through SCSI and Amiga audio) player module.
