  I     CD_PLAYER is a program to allow playing of Audio CD's on CDRom drives J capable of doing so. It is written in C and uses the Motif user interface.M Because it needs to access the SCSI device directly, it requires DIAGNOSE and I PHY_IO privilege to execute (note, you may INSTALL the program with these M privileges). You need to define the logical name "DECW$CD_PLAYER" to point to M the device which you wish to us. You can use the procedure VUE$CD_PLAYER.COM, H which will put up a requestor to select the drive if you haven't already defined the logical.  O     The current version of CD_PLAYER has minimal support for an Album database. J There are plans under way to expand the capabilities. At this however, youH are only allowed to modify an "Album title", which is stored in the fileJ SYS$LOGIN:ALBUM.CD (an indexed file whose current and future structure andM use is outlined in CD-DB.C). Future support will hopefully include a Song DB, P an Artist DB, as well as a "Prefered track" DB. Oddly enough, to save the album K title, after typing it in you must press <ctrl><enter> (or <ctrl><return>). K That's a motif default, and I didn't muck with it. If you already have used K a previous version of this program, you may already have an album database, N there is an included ALBUM.FDL file to convert the database to the new format.  M     All feedback is quite welcome. Send correspondence to meadowsj@boeing.com N or joe@kirk.fhcrc.org. Please bear in mind that this is a work in progress, ifK you have access to the internet, you can get up-to-date versions by sending K mail to VMSSERV@FHCRCVAX or VMSSERV@KIRK.FHCRC.ORG, containing the one line L "SEND CD.PACKAGE". You can also keep up to date on latest changes by sendingJ the one line "SEND $MODIFY.LIS", and checking to see if I have updated the package.  I     Thank you for your interest in this program, I hope it proves usefull  (well, at least fun).
