IMPORTING AN EXISTING CD DATABASE
A facility is included to allow you to automate the import of an existing
database, allowing CDPlayer to attach your existing details to its internally
calculated disc id.
To do this proceed as follows:
1 Create an export file from your existing database in record format.
Be sure to allocate a unique 8 digit Hex string to each disc and
include this as the disc id. At this point it does not matter what
that string is, you could start at "00000001" and increment by 1 for
each disc, or use the id created by your existing player.
2 Launch CDPlayer.
3 Import the data into CDPlayer.
4 Enter each disc in turn then:
Select Browse
highlight the record which corresponds to the disc
Select Edit
Select Attach record to current disk
If you have selected the correct record, confirm that this is the case
and the disc id for the currently inserted disk will be allocated to
the record. Details of track times will also be updated to complete
the record.
If the disc inserted is already recorded in the database you will be informed
of this fact. If no disc is in the drive an error message will be shown.
You do not have to "link" the records to the correct disc in one session, you
could do this over a period of time as and when you play the discs.
