DOPUSAMP - Arexx script to send mp3 file to AmigaAMP
Homepage
--------
http://www.amigauniverse.co.uk/ (BACK SOON)
Introduction
------------
I have been using Dopus and AmigaAMP for a long time and have always
thought it would be nice if I could just double click on a mp3 file
in dopus and amigaamp would play it. This could have been done so
that the filetype simply ran the program passing the path of the mp3
file to AmigaAMP, but I wanted it to check if AmigaAMP was already
running before running another copy. If AmigaAMP is running it will
simply tell AmigaAMP to play the mp3, if its not it will ask you
if you wish to run AmigaAMP, if yes AmigaAMP will load and the file
will play. Not a complicated script but my first experiment in ARexx
it does work :)
Installation
------------
I haven't made an install program because it is very simple to install.
From dopus simply drag and drop all three directorys from the install
directory into the dopus drawer. In other words the files in the arexx
drawer need to go into the arexx drawer in the dopus directory, the
file in Filetypes needs to go into the dopus filetypes drawer and the
file in settings needs to go into the dopus settings drawer.
Simply isn't it :)
Now simply edit the file "damp.config" in the settings drawer to
give the path and arguments to amigaamp so it loads the way you
have the icon configured. See the example config for an example
which loads amigaamp in newgui mode with a specified skin.
Requirements (Not Included)
------------
AmigaAMP
Dopus Magellan II (Upgrade simply cos its so good)
Rexxmast must be running
Future
