CD-Runner 6.0 DeLuxe - New Features
CD-Runner 4.0 was love at first sight. When you first loaded 5.0
nobody heard from you for days. So what could we possibly have
added in CD-Runner 6.0 Deluxe to make things even better?
Take a look at this...
>>>> Themes: A whole new look!
Whatever your mood for the day, you can FULLY customize any part
of the CD-Runner display to match. Fonts, colors, LED or LCD,
faceplate display, wallpapers & slideshows... And NOW we've added
3-d Themes! Cruise the Faceplate options and choose from our
default sets of 3-d themes for dynamite faceplate displays to
choose from. Can't decide? You can mix and match these by
choosing one as a faceplate, and then go to General Setup and
choose another from the CDRUNNER\THEMES folder as a wallpaper!
Hint: You can also import your favorite .bmp images from
elsewhere to this folder for quick cusomization.
------------------------------------------------------
>>> Internet! Internet! Internet!
>> Auto-Launch your favorite Web Browser:
In the CD-Runner Setup - Advanced Section, you'll find the
utility for selecting your favorite web browser, be it MS
Internet Browser, Netscape, or even WinCIM. Once this is
configured, you'll note a new www launch button on the upper
right-hand screen of every CD-Runner faceplate.
Once you've got a browser assigned just load you favorite CD,
and go for a spin on the net. Via the handy drop-down menu
available from within any of the faceplates you can automatically
launch your browser its default URL. CD-Runner will minimize to
its Remote Control if you have this option chosen, and you're off
to surf with your favorite tunes running in the background.
You can also access any of the following at one click:
>> On-Board CD Audio/CD-ROM Shopping! That's right - one click
takes you right into the finest internet CD shopping available.
Browse or shop, with CD-Runner playing your favorite tunes in
the background.
>> www.cdrunner.com
You can pop right out of CD-Runner and visit our website for
on-line Registration, free on-line upgrades for registered users
(Sorry - but if you're not yet registered, overinstalling
upgrades will NOT extend your Trial Period.), direct email for
Product Support and Feedback, Installation Info & Cool Tips -
and there's more in the works. Stay in touch!
YOU SHOULDN'T HAVE TO GO HUNTING FOR US!
>> Need help or info? Your WWW Desktop and faceplate drop-down
menus have a direct email link to our Product Support. Click,
fill-in, click send, and help is on the way.
--------------------------------------------
We've done wonders in giving you TOTAL control of your CD drive
while on the net, and wherever else you may be in Windows. How?
>>> New Minimize Options!
>> Built-in 'Lite' Option: Most of our users report that they
prefer to have CD-Runner power-up and on-board whenever they boot
Windows. We've created a special 'Lite' version which, when
placed in you Windows Startup folder will load the CD-Runner
shell in minimized memory-saving form. If you have CD-Runner set
to AutoLaunch in Setup, your loaded Audio or CD-ROM will kick
into gear every time you load Windows.
Clicking the CD-Runner icon on your Windows Task Bar will restore
CD-Runner to it's full working version.
>> CD-Runner's great new Remote Control adds power and control to
your CD/Internet life. In Setup, you can choose to have
CD-Runner launch this moveable always-on-top controller every
time CD-Runner is minimized. The Remote Control includes almost
all of the features in the full-screen faceplates. Drop-down
mini-faceplates and Title Selection boxes are available with a
simple click on imbedded hotspots.
You forgot to set this option? That's ok - It's also available as
an icon in your Windows 95 Systray!
--------------------------------------------
>>> Media Runner - New!
CD-Runner now comes with an additional faceplate for running and
programming multimedia files in all your favorite formats - WAV,
MID, MIDI, RMI, AVI, MMM, MOV, and MPG. You can also record and
link any .wav or .mid (sound or music) file to a title CD-ROM
launch. For your convenience the Multimedia Runner enables quick
recording and preview of sound files to choose from. Default
storage directories provide quick user access to stored files.
Add pizzazz to program intros with introductory song clips or
pre-recorded instructions for using the program to be launched.
--------------------------------------------
>>> Any improvements on existing features? You bet!
Incompatibility difficulties: If there's a program out there
that doesn't have one of these, it will tomorrow! Windows System
files are being cotinually upgraded by Microsoft and other
developers. We're constantly upgrading CD-Runner with the latest
official MS Windows 95 drivers. Setup and Upgrades now check
your \WINDOWS\SYSTEM folder to ensure that you've got the latest
offical MS files required for loading and operating CD-Runner
properly.
You'll notice that everything runs faster and smoother. Graphics
load faster, more thumbnails are available, LED's are hotter, the
libraries are easier to use, and the Audio Section now includes
features previously reserved for professionals. The CD-Runner
Help section has also been upgraded to provide help for all of
the new features. Just press F1 at any time.
Virtually every screen and section has been thoroughly re-thought
and re-designed to take full advantage of today's technology, and
make CD-Runner the ULTIMATE CD Launcher you've been looking for.
So check it out, and enjoy! If you have any suggestions, feel
free to drop us a line. Your feedback helps us create and
maintain a better product.
