    I.    What is Audio List Maker ?

        Audio List Maker (commonly call ALM) is a software which creates lists of your audio files (such as mp3, mp4, vqf or aac). Its engine can make Text and Html files. The "Server" Part of ALM can also regularly rebuild the lists and provide links in HTML files to enable direct-download.

        Audio List Maker works with your existing web and/or ftp daemon ! You can publish the HTML files in a selected directory and use a "Base URL" for each links. It has been tested and work with the most used web and ftp servers !

    This is the "HTML" (also server) Panel. You can set the title of the HTML file (the title of the window when reading by a web browser). In the server frame, you can set the list refresh time. It's useful when a lot of people upload files on your server. The Base URL is the URL which is the root dir of your audio files. It looks like this :

[(ftp|http)]://([login]:[password]@)[(IP|domain_name.ext)]/[base_dir].

        II.3     TaskTray

   In order to work as a server, we think it was better to disable the ALM button is the taskbar to but it in the "TaskTray". Bovine logo is copyrighted by Distributed.nettasktray_01.gif (2660 bytes)

    III.    Troubleshooting

        « When I start ALM, I have a Run-Time error which asks for a file. »
ALM needs a dll/ocx files pack to work fine. You can get it there, on the ALM website.
