- Play digital audio off Sony CD drives
- .description
- This program replays digital audio data directly off a compact disc
- using the Amiga audio hardware (in stereo where available). A special
- type of CD-ROM drive is required since this program makes use of a
- vendor unique command supported by Sony drives, such as the CDU-8003A
- or the Apple CD-300 drive.
-
- Please note that due to the work involved reading and converting the
- audio data music may not always play smoothly. The program will also
- consume large amounts of chip memory in order to supply the player
- task with a contiguous stream of data (the maximum number of sound
- queue packets can be adjusted using a command line parameter). Your
- system may also experience heavy task loading since the incoming data
- (more than 88K bytes per second) must be handled quickly and
- efficiently in order to avoid `pops' and delays.
