Alfons version 0.94 beta
Copyright (C) 1996 Mikael Kjellström
What do Alfons do?
------------------
Alfons is a program that copies the information from a Audio Compact
Disk (CD) digitaly. Because it copies the information (ones and zeros)
digitaly there is no quality loss. It makes a perfect digital copy of
the original information (CD) and saves it as a standard RIFF WAVE-file
on your harddrive. Not all CD-ROM drives supports this thou. I know
that Toshiba's, some Apple and the newer NEC-players support this. If you
have a player that support Digital Transfer (DT) please send me a
note.
Known bugs / missfeatures
-------------------------
- Alfons doesn't check if there is enough space free on the harddrive.
- Only 44100 Hz samples and 16-bit samples are supported. Althou it is
possible to have a CD with 22050 Hz samplerate I have never seen one.
Future enhancments
------------------
- Rewrite the program as a PM-program.
- Make more use of threads for possible speedups.
- Fix so that one could grab more than one track at a time.
