[Introduction]
ACDPlay definitely wouldn't exist without the cdplay.library programmed by
Patrick Hess which is now replaced by own SCSI routines for several reasons.
[Features]
ACDPlay...
- uses own SCSI routines written in Assembler
- supports cd.device for ATAPI drives

useful for owners of multiple CD-ROM devices.

If this is selected, it isn't possible to open or close the drive with
the button on the front of the device.

[Windows]
ACDPlay's windows
- Main window
- Title selection
- Title programming
- Title editing
- Public screens
- Volume
- A-B Repeat
- CD information
- Device information
[Main window]
Repeatmode cycle gadget
4. A-B Repeat: The section, which can be choosen in the A-B Repeat window,
will be played and repeated.
[Public screen window]
For updating the display, the 'Update'-button has to be pressed or the
window has to be closed and reopened.
[Volume window]
The volume window
This window contains three sliders. The outer ones allow you to adjust the
left and right sound channels separatly, while the middle one controls
the volume for both channels at once.
[A-B Repeat window]
The A-B Repeat window
Here you can set the A-B repeat range. When 'A' or 'B' is pressed,
ACDPlay inserts the current position into the respective track and time
fields.
However, you may also set the range by just typing in start and end point.
Enter the desired track and the desired time in minutes, seconds and
1/75 seconds.
Example time entry: 3 min, 25 secs and 63 1/75 secs is entered in the following
way: 03:25.63
[short cuts]
Controlling the CD player via short cuts only works, if the main window
is activated.
The numeric keys 1,2,3,...,0 have the same meaning as the equivalent
directchoice gadgets.
Pressing the cursor-up or cursor-down keys, lets ACDPlay jump forward or
backward.
Pressing the cursor-left or cursor-right keys, causes a jump backward or
forward within the track.
[Configurations]
All configurations can be overwritten using shell arguments.
If ACDPlay is started with a '?' as parameter, and you type the question
mark again, you get a brief description of all known shell arguments.
SEARCHSECONDS = a value (1-100) which defines how much seconds the
search button will jump over (default: 10)
UPDATEDELAY = defines how often (1-50) the update of the drive data
will be delayed (default: 5)
QUITONCLOSE = determines whether ACDPlay quits or hides when hiting
the closewindow gadget (default: 1)

DELETEPROGRAM: deletes the current program
COPYALLPROGRAM: creates a program with the CD's table of contents
as pattern
SAVEPROGRAM: saves the current program
LOADPROGRAM: loads a saved program
APPENDELEMENT: attaches the given track to the current program
DELETEELEMENT: deletes the, as argument, given element of the
program (0 is the first)

GETTRACKNUMBER: returns the available track number of the current CD
GETCURRENTTIME: the already passed time will be returned as 1/75
seconds
GETTOTALTIME: the length of the track will be returned as 1/75
seconds
SETVOLUME: expects a value (0-255) which sets the main volume of
the CD-ROM drive
GETVOLUME: returns the current main volume (0-255) of the CD-ROM
drive
[Future]
-possibly port to the operating system pOS
[words of thanks]
thank-yous go to...
Everybody who was participated constructive in our project.
Every translator and proof reader, of whom most attend to the Amiga
Translator's Organisation. Thanks go also to the beta testers, everybody,
who just sent us an EMail (remember: this program is EMailware!) and
everyone who is forgotten here, but whose name is in the scroller
of the about window.
Special thanks go to Patrick Hess, without him we never had started
programming a CD player.
