Feedback would be appreciated if it does/doesn't * Playing normal (ie. not program or shuffled) mode should no longer give a pause between tracks (noticeable with CD's with continuous tracks) * Window title bar now displays CD title when not playing and track name when playing * Updated Help file v0.5a - June 14th 1993 ---------------------- * One bug fix - using A-B button caused GPF with no disk in drive. * One tweak - CDdb no longer stops a cd playing when it starts up. v0.5b - July 3rd 1993 --------------------- * Play/Pause button now sets correctly * This release is mainly because the previous two (v0.5 and v0.5a) seemed to have been vaped from cica! ---------------- (c) Steven Fletcher July 3rd 1993 email: cddb@blzbub.demon.co.uk
