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.
