- What is CDP?
- ************
-
- Programdescription
- ==================
-
- CDP is a simple CD Player for SCSI-II CD-Rom drives. It needs MUI
- (at least V2.3) for its GUI-Interface.
-
- In the GUI you are able to Show/Hide things like Skip-Buttons
- or Number-Buttons. There is also an optional Window containing the
- songs of the CD. (Songsfile aren't yet implemented, sorry!)
-
- The main playerwindow can be very small, if you only display
- the CD-Display and the Start-/Stop-Button.
-
- CDP is in a very first stage of development, so don't expect too
- much from this release. The main purpose of this release is to get
- feedback from users.

- Installation
- ************
-
- How to install CDP?
- ===================
-
- The installation of CDP is really simple. As there are yet
- no Songfiles implemented it is sufficient to simply copy the files
- CDP and CDP.info to an directory of your choice.
-
- If you i.E. want to copy the programm to Work:CDROM-Soft, and
- the Archiv was extracted to RAM: type the following in the shell:
-
- 0m1m copy ram:CDP/bin/CDP ram:CDP/bin/CDP.info work:CDROM-Soft/0m
-
- From Workbench it is simply a drag and drop. Drag the Icon with
- the programm over a dircetory of your choice and ready!
-
- There is also a simple installerskript (Install_English) which
- copy the programm and the manual.

- GUI
- ***
-
- The Userinterface
- =================
-
- After the first start CDP opens two windows, the first is
- the control-window with the display and the second displays all songs
- in a listview.
-
- The listview contains information about start- and playtime of
- each track, the type of the track (data/audio) and the title. The
- title is set to Nr. x, but as soon as the songfiles are implemented
- you can edit and set this to the real songnames. A doubleclick or a
- mui-select (cursor & return) will start playing the selected song.
- You can open/close this window (MENU: GUI/SONGS...), and the
- state of the window will be saved, so after the next start of CDP the
- window may not be open.
-
- The control-window diplays the cd-title (if known by the programm)
- in the first textobject, the display itself shows
- track/index/playtime. In future version there will be more
- (configurable) infos such as totalplaytime etc.
-
- The next group are numbergadgets from 1 to 9. This buttons can be
- used to start the songs from 1 to 9. Sorry, two digit numbers are not
- yet implemented. You can show/hide this group from the
- menu (GUI/NUMBERS...), the state will be saved after quiting CDP.
-
- The skip-section consist of search/index and skip, search jumps
- 10 seconds forward/back, index jumps to next/previous index, and
- skip plays the next/previous song. This group can also made
- invisible (MENU: GUI/SKIPS...), the state is saved.
-
- The index-skip only worked, if the CD-Rom drive is capable of
- this feature, if not either nothing will happen, or the song is played
- from the start again. The CD300 (Apple) doesn't has a
- correct index-function, this will be emulated in a later version. As a
- result of this, the index-buttons will be disabled if a CD300 is
- detected.
-
- Ok, last but not least, play/pause/stop. These gadgets are
- alwalys visible, as long as you don't iconfy the whole application.
