Thank you so much for downloading ! This is a very useful tool for MIDI manipulator.
I sometimes copy some songs from Compact Disc for making MIDI data. Usually I use a portable CD player but also I have CD-ROM drive in my PC/AT compatible.
I already tried some CD player programs. But there are few which can set a repeat area. To make MIDI data, we have to listen a part of song again and again and again ....
So, I created this program. The function of this CD player as follows:
1. You can set a repeat area easily. You only have to push the "Set" button.
2. You can memorize the start and stop position of CD and save them.
3. If you would like to listen CD as BGM, You push the "BGM" button. It playes all songs.
4. Easy operation. You can set data by using scroll bar.
I made a windows program for the first time, so I am really afraid that there are some fatal bugs in this program. If you notice bugs, please let me know by e-mail. Thank you.
Let's enjoy MIDI life !!
