CDFSFiler: product description

CDFSFiler has been designed to act as a drop-in replacement for Acorn's CDFSFiler and provide additional functionality at the same time:

  • Better support for mixed-mode CD-ROMs (i.e. access to both data and audio)
  • Sophisticated control over audio playback, not limited to just drive 0
  • Ability to share audio CD catalogue information with SmartCD+ users
  • Local caching of files retrieved from CD-ROM to provide better performance with applications such as encyclopaedias and other data-intensive products.
  • Direct control over VirtuaCD drives
  • Easy to use configuration front-end
  • Support for sharing CD-ROM drives through ShareFS
  • Support for mounting and dismounting CD-Net drives

The application dynamically loads code accessed by the user, thus minimising the amount of memory used.

The audio playback control provides the usual features (stop, play, pause, next track, previous track, fast forward, fast rewind) plus the ability to play introductory snippets from tracks, play tracks in a random order or play tracks in an order defined by you. The application supports SmartCD+ track listing files, allowing you to easily share track titles with other users.

One of the design goals of the product has been to make the most of what the user wants from the computer, so some of the more esoteric "audio" features such as tape inlays have not been included.
