B BASIC OPERATIONS
1 Run CDPlayer
To load CDPlayer, simply change to the sub-directory containing the
program, by typing the following:
X: <Enter>
CD \CDPLAYER <Enter>
where X is replaced with the drive on which CDPlayer has been installed.
Then type:
CDPLAYER <Enter>
alternatively, if the directory containing CDPlayer is included in the DOS
path, you may type CDPlayer at the DOS prompt no matter where you are
within the system. However, if you do this you must inform the program
where your disc catalogue files are stored using the command line option,
see below.
The CDPlayer handset will be displayed and the system will interrogate the
first CD drive to see if a disc is loaded and if it is playing - if the
disc is playing, play will not be interrupted by running CDPlayer. If a
disc is found the information relating to the disc will be loaded and the
handset will display information which is relevant to it. If no disc is
found in the first drive, the system will show an error status in the
handset display. This error status will disappear as soon as a disc is
inserted into the drive. You may change the CD at any time without
reloading CDPlayer. The program will register that you have switched
discs and load the information relevant to the new disc.
Command Line Option (see end of manual for more options)
If, when loading CDPlayer, the directory containing CDPlayer is the
default it is not necessary to use any command line options. The program
will use the default directory to load your CD database. However, if
your database files are not resident in the default directory you must
inform the program where the files reside. This is done by using the
command line parameter "/D=". The path holding the data files is
specified after the equals sign. For example, if you are running
CDPlayer from the root directory C and the data files are contained in a
directory called CDPLAYER the following would be entered:
CDPlayer /D=C:\CDPLAYER
Whenever CDPlayer needs to access the database it will look in the
default, or specified, directory for files with the following names:
DISCS.IX
DISCS.DAT
If they are not found it will create these two files to store a new
database.
2 The CD Handset
The handset is made up of three areas:
CDPlayer from Jupiter Software Page 5
Figure 1 - The CD Handset
Display - showing the play mode, track being played
and track and disc time elapsed and
remaining
Play controls - using the numeric key pad to provide the
"buttons" normally available on a CD Player
Selection controls - using alpha keys for play mode selection and
catalogue functions
To the right of the handset a scroll bar indicates the current volume
setting. An up arrow appears at the top and a down arrow at the end,
indicating that you press these keys to increase and decrease volume.
At the foot of the function key display a scroll bar indicates the
current balance setting. The arrows displayed at either end indicate
that pressing these will adjust the volume balance between the speakers.
Pressing "*" will centralize the control.
Not all drives support variable volume and on these drives the volume
will be constant if the slider is anywhere but at the bottom, or fully to
the side. In these cases play will be muted on one or both speakers.
A window is also displayed showing the name of the disk and the title of
the current track, as recorded in the entry for the disc in the disc
catalogue, see section C. This window can be suppressed by including a
command line parameter of /S when running CDPlayer.
3 Display Area
The display area at the top of the handset, see figure 1, is made up of
four lines of information relating to the current disc being played.
Line 1
To the left of line 1 is displayed the current mode of play, this
can be one of four modes:
Disc - play the whole disc from the currently selected
track
Track - play the selected track only
Shuffle Play - play the tracks on the disk in a random order
Custom Play - play the tracks listed in the custom play field
of the disc's record.
To the right of line 1 the word "Repeat" will be displayed if the
currently selected play mode is to be repeated, i.e. repeat the whole
disc, the track or the custom programme.
Line 2
To the left of line 2 will appear one of the following:
Stop - this will appear if the disc inserted is not currently
being played
Play - this will appear if the disc is currently being played
Pause - this will appear if pause has been pressed
Working - this will appear momentarily when one of the function
keys has been pressed
Reading - this will be displayed when the player is loading
control data from the disk.
Error - this will be displayed if no disc is present in the
first drive or if the drive is open.
The remainder of line 2 simply contains headings for the information
displayed on lines 3 and 4.
Line 3
This line contains details of the track currently selected, or
being played, together with the playing time elapsed and that remaining
for the track.
Line 4
This line contains details of the amount of playing time which has
elapsed and is remaining for the disc.
CDPlayer from Jupiter Software Page 6
4 Functions Keys
The remainder of the handset, see figure 1, shows the keys which are
active when CDPlayer is running.
The functions available are as follows:
9/P Play. Pressing this key will either play the whole of the disc from
the currently selected track, the selected track only or any custom
programme, depending on the play mode (see function "T" below)
8/I Pause/Interrupt. Pressing this key will cause play to pause, and
pressing the key a second time will result in play continuing.
7/S Stop. Pressing this key causes play to cease.
6/N Next Track. This key causes the system to move forward to the next
track on the disc based on the mode of play.
4/L Last Track. This key causes the system to move back to the
previous track on the disc based on the mode of play.
5/C Replay Current track. Pressing this key, when a disc is being played,
will cause the system to replay the currently selected track from
the beginning.
3/F Fast Forward. Pressing this key causes the system to jump to a point
30 seconds later in the track. This key is only effective while a CD
is being played.
1/B Fast Back. Pressing this key causes the system to jump to a point
30 seconds earlier in the track. This key is only effective while a
CD is being played.
2/E Eject/Close. For drives which have an automatic eject and closing
facility, this key will either open or close the drive. If a disc
is being played when this key is pressed, play will cease and the
disc will be ejected.
./G Pressing this key causes the system to request the track number to
jump to. If the disk is in play mode, play will continue from the
selected track.
Arrows Adjust volume and balance. (*=centralize balance)
0 Exit. Pressing this key, or "Esc", will terminate CDPlayer. If a CD
is being played when the program is terminated, it will continue to
play.
R Repeat. This key toggles repeat mode. When repeat mode is on,
"Repeat" is displayed on line 1 of the display, the current play mode
will repeat continuously until "R" is pressed again (or stop is
pressed).
M Track/Custom/Shuffle/Disc. This key circulates between the three
play modes, however, if no custom programme has been created for the
disc currently being played, it will skip past this mode. The three
modes are as follows:
CDPlayer from Jupiter Software Page 7
Track - play the current track only
Custom - play the tracks entered in the custom play field
of the database record for the current disc.
Whenever a disc is inserted the program
identifies the disc and if a record exists for
it, it will be loaded and any custom play
programme will be available.
Shuffle - shuffle the tracks into a random order for
playing. If repeat is on when playing a disk in
shuffle mode, the disk will be repeated played
with the tracks shuffled into a different order
on each play.
Disc - play the whole disc from the track currently
selected
D Disc Catalogue. Pressing this key will cause the system to enter
disc catalogue mode in one of three ways:
1. If a record already exists for the disc inserted in the drive
the record will be loaded and offered for editing.
2. If a record does not exist for the disc inserted in the drive
the system will load the track data from the CD and offer a
blank record for a new record to be created.
3. If no disc is inserted in the drive, i.e. the handset is
displaying "Error", the system will enter browse mode, for
details see the next section.
O/X/V Import/Export/CSV. Pressing these keys access the database import
and export facilities.
Export data
The information stored in the CD catalogue may be exported in one of
two formats:
Record format Where each field is written to the file on a
separate line, each record occupying a fixed
number of lines. (press X)
CSV Where the whole record is written on one line in
Comma Separated Variable format. (press V)
In both cases the order of the record is as follows:
Disc ID
Name
Composer/artist
Music type
Custom play
Disc reference
30 track titles
On selecting the appropriate option, you will be asked to:
Enter path and name of file to create
Enter the full path and name and press <enter>. If you select the
option but do not wish to proceed, pressing Esc will abort the
routine and return you to the handset.
If the file already exists you will informed of this fact and asked
to confirm that you wish to proceed.
A count of the records being exported is displayed as the file is
created and on completion a message indicating that the process was
successful.
Import data
Data may be imported from a file stored in Record Format, see above.
The system uses the Disc ID to identify records and if the ID
already exists in the database the record will be updated, if it
does not exist a new record will be created. You may use this
facility to merge multiple databases.
On selecting the import data option, you will be asked to:
Enter path and name of file to import
Enter the full path and name and press <enter>. If you select the
option but do not wish to proceed, pressing Esc will abort the
routine and return you to the handset.
If the file does not exist, or is not in the correct format, a
message will be displayed. If the file is acceptable, the data will
be imported and a progress message displayed. When the import is
complete a message to this effect will be displayed.
If any new records are added during an import they will not contain
details of track time, and the total number of tracks may not be
correct as this will be based on the track titles recorded.
However, both the track times and the total number of tracks will be
updated by the system on the first occasion that the CD is loaded
and the data record accessed.
If you have a mouse installed you can control the handset with it. When
the handset is displayed, the mouse cursor will be visible and you may
click on a button or the arrow keys of the volume controls to invoke the
function. Clicking on the bar of the balance slider will centralize the
control.
CDPlayer from Jupiter Software Page 8
C DISC CATALOGUE
CDPlayer provides a facility for maintaining and searching a catalogue of
your CDs. Whenever a CD is inserted in the drive, CDPlayer identifies the
disc and determines whether or not a record exists in the database. If a
record is found it is loaded and any custom play programme is made
available for playing. If a record is not found CDPlayer will allocate a
unique identification to the disc and determine the number of tracks and
playing time of each. It is possible to play CDs which do not have an
entry in the database, however, the custom play facility will not be
available until a record has been created.
1 Entering/editing the record for the current disc
When a disc is inserted in the drive, the system displays details
regarding the disc in the handset display and you may access the
record for the CD by pressing "D" - this will operate whether or not
the current CD is being played or is in "stop mode". On pressing
"D" the Record Screen will be displayed, see figure 2.
Figure 2 - Record Screen
If a record for the CD already exists it will be loaded and
presented to you for edit, if no record exists a blank record screen
will be displayed containing the total tracks on the disc, the
total playing time and the playing times for each track.
Each record consists of the following:
Disc name - up to 30 characters. Records are sorted
alphabetically by disc name when displayed in browse mode, see
below.
Composer/Artist - this may be up to 30 characters and can be
used to record the composer or artist.
Music type - a field of 15 characters which you can use to
identify the type of music, e.g. baroque, romantic, pop etc.
Custom play - this field is 30 characters long and contains the
tracks to be played when custom play mode is selected. Tracks
are identified by a number from 1 to 9 or a letter from A to U
(representing tracks 10 to 30). To set up a custom play simply
enter the track identifications one after the other in the
order in which they are to be played. For example if you wish
to play track 7 followed by 10 and then 15, enter "7AF".
Disc reference - a field of 15 characters in which you may
record the reference by which you identify the disc. It is
sensible to allocate unique references to each of your discs as
this field is displayed when browsing through your CD
collection, providing a means of identifying the disc you are
seeking.
Track details - you may enter a description of up to 50
characters (100 characters for registered users), shown within
a scrolling field of 25 characters if the disc contains more
than 15 tracks, for each track on the disc. When browsing
through your CD catalogue, "word filter" searches all fields
within a record including track details, it is therefore
possible to search for
CDPlayer from Jupiter Software Page 9
a particular track and then identify the disc on
which it resides. See section on browsing below.
Disc ID - Each disc record is indexed by a unique 8 digit hex
string. This key is shown on the edit screen for reference
purposes.
The system allows you to record details of up to 30 tracks for each
CD. Two edit screens are provided, one for discs with 15 or less
tracks and one for those with over 15 tracks. The edit screen for
the the former, displays the track list in a single column while
that for the latter uses a two column format.
If the CD is playing, the track currently being played is
highlighted and the track and disc status are shown at the top right
of the Record Screen. If the CD is being played in Shuffle mode,
the order in which the tracks are being played is displayed at the
top right of the window.
On accessing the record, the entry field will be positioned by "Disc
name". Enter or edit the name of the disc and press <Enter> to
move to the "Composer/Art." field. If you enter all 30 characters
it is not necessary to press <Enter>. You may continue entering
the fields one at a time and on completing the entry for the final
track the entry field will move back to "Disc name".
You may move from field to field by pressing the "up" and "down"
arrow keys, provided the cursor is positioned on the first character
of the field.
The following keys are available to you whilst entering information:
Insert - inserts a space at the current cursor position
Delete - deletes the character at the current cursor
position
Right arrow - moves the cursor one position to the right
Left arrow - moves the cursor one position to the left
Ctrl V - toggles insert mode on and off. If insert mode
is on the cursor is displayed as a flashing
box, if off it is a flashing line. In insert
mode characters are inserted within any existing
text and the back space key is destructive. In
over write mode characters over write existing
text and the back space key is non destructive.
At any point when the Records Screen is displayed pressing "F8" will
access the browse window, see below.
When you have finished entering or editing the record press "Esc".
If you have made any changes to the record the system will ask you
if you wish to save the edited record. Pressing "Y" will cause the
changes to be stored in the database, while pressing "N" will
discard the changes you have made and leave the original record
intact, if one existed.
2 Browsing through your catalogue
Pressing "F8" when the Record Screen is displayed, or pressing "D"
when the handset is displayed and an error status is indicated,
accesses the Browse Screen. See figure 3.
Figure 3 - Browse Screen
If you have a mouse installed, a scroll bar will appear on the right
hand side of the window and a mouse cursor will appear in the
centre of the screen. The scroll bar indicates the relative
CDPlayer from Jupiter Software Page 10
position of the highlighted record within the database and it use is
described below.
The Browse Screen is divided into three areas as follows:
1 Heading - taking up the first two lines
2 Catalogue display - showing 10 entries from the database at
a time
3 Instruction area - displayed on the last two lines
On accessing the Browse Screen, the first ten entries in your
database, based on a alphabetical sort of the disc name, will be
displayed. Each line contains the following:
Disc name
Composer
Music type
Disc reference
The first entry will be highlighted. You may scroll through your CD
catalogue with the following keys:
Page up - Pressing "Page up" will cause the list to scroll back
10 records.
Page down - Pressing page down will cause the list to scroll
forward 10 records.
Up arrow - Pressing "Up arrow" moves the highlight bar to the
previous record, scrolling the list back if necessary.
Down arrow- Pressing "Down arrow" moves the highlight to the
next record, scrolling the list forward if necessary.
Home - Pressing "Home" displays the first 10 entries in the
list.
End - Pressing "End" displays the last 10 entries in the
list.
If you have a mouse you may use it to scroll up and down a line at a
time by clicking on the "up" and "down" arrows displayed in the
instruction area. Clicking on the "Page up" and "Page down" arrow
will cause the screen to scroll up and down ten entries at a time,
as will clicking on the arrows at the top and bottom of the scroll
bar. You may move to the beginning of the list by clicking on
"Home" and to the end of the list by clicking on "End".
Mouse users can also jump to a relative position within the list by
clicking on the scroll bar itself. For example, if you click two
thirds of the way down the scroll bar the system will jump to two
thirds of the way through your catalogue.
Goto Disc
It is possible to jump to a specific disc, by pressing "G" and
entering the first few characters of the disc name. If the name
entered does not exist the system will jump to the next highest name
found, based on an alphabetical sort.
CDPlayer from Jupiter Software Page 11
Word Filter
Pressing "W" will cause the system to request the entry of a filter
string, with the prompt "Enter word filter". The filter string can
be up to 10 characters long (30 characters for registered users)
and may be a single word or a group of words. On entering a string
the system will redisplay the browse list containing only those
records which contain the string entered in the Composer/Artist
field, for registered users the string may be present within any
field, and case is ignored.
You may use the word filter to, for example, display all music by
Mozart. For registered users, this will result in all discs being
listed which contain Mozart in any field, e.g. as the Composer or
within track details. It will therefore pick up any compilation
discs which include Mozart music. Once the list is displayed you
may scroll through the filtered list in the same way as you scroll
through the full list. Filtering is deactivated by pressing "W" for
a second time or by exiting from the Browse Window.
Exit From Browse Mode
You exit from the Browse Window by pressing, or clicking on, "Esc".
3 Editing during browsing
When browsing through your database, a record may be selected for
viewing or editing by highlighting it on the Browse Screen and
pressing <Enter>, or by double clicking on the entry. The Edit Disc
Record Screen will be displayed, which is in the same format as the
Record Screen. You may edit the selected record, if required, in
the same way as records are edited from the Record Screen.
To exit from the Edit Disc Record Screen press "Esc". If you have
edited the record you will be asked if you want it saved; pressing
"Y" will cause your catalogue to be updated while pressing "N" will
discard any changes made.
4 Deleting a record (Registered users only)
If you wish to delete a record, highlight it in the Browse Window
and press "D".
A window will be displayed asking for confirmation that you wish to
delete the record. If you do wish to continue press "Y" and it will
be removes, otherwise press "N".
5 Rebuilding the database index
It is possible that your database index may become corrupt. This is
not likely to happen very often, but loss of power to the system
while the index is being updated is one event which will definitely
corrupt the data.
If the system detects a problem with the index it will inform you
that the index requires rebuilding and ask you to confirm that you
wish this to be done.
CDPlayer from Jupiter Software Page 12
D INSTALLATION
An automated installation routine is provided on the disk. To run this
routine insert the disk in your floppy drive, log on to the drive and run
the installation routine by typing:
X: <Enter>
INSTALL Y <Enter>
Where "X" will either by "A" or "B" depending on the drive being used and
"Y" will be the letter identifying the hard disk on which CDPlayer is to
be installed.
The installation routine will create a directory called CDPLAYER within
the root of your hard disk, and copy the programs to it. It is, in
fact, only necessary to have the program file CDPLAYER.EXE present on the
hard disk and this can be resident in any directory.
When the program is first run, it will create the database files
required to store your CD catalogue, see section B.1. for more
information.
To update a shareware installation, simply copy CDPLAYER.EXE from the
issue disk to the directory containing your shareware version of the
program.
Note - ADDITIONAL COMMAND LINE OPTIONS
Five new command line options are available. These allow you to change
the screen colours used to display the handset and database. They are as
follows:
/S - Suppress display of disk title and current track
/N=999 - Normal display used for handset display area
/E=999 - Display of entry keys
/B=999 - Display of background
/V=999 - Display of view/browse screen
The may appear in any order and must be separated by at least one space.
999 = The number of the attribute to be used from 0 to 255, following
standard IBM colours.
E. MEMORY RESIDENT PLAYER
This disk included a restricted demonstration copy of CDTsr(TM). Note this
is not a shareware program but all registered users of CDPlayer will also
receive a full unrestricted copy of this program.
CDTsr is a memory resident CD playing handset which can be called up over
any text based application. The default key sequence for invoking help is
<Alt><P>, however this may be changed and a second key sequence may be
defined using command line parameters.
CDTsr is a swapping memory resident program, so when not in use it occupies
less than 7kb of memory. On being called, the system will secure the DOS
environment before loading itself and displaying the handset. On exit, the
operating system environment is reinstated and the user may continue. By
adopting this approach the system occupies the minimum possible memory and can
be used with programmes that require large amounts of memory to be available
to them.
This program allows DOS users to pop up a CD handset similar to that contained
in CDPlayer. This is very handy for pausing the CD to take a phone call,
carrying on with your current application and then resuming play by popping up
the handset a second time. Also for playing a new CD without having to close
down your current application.
To load CDTsr simply change to the directory containing CDTsr and type:
CDTSR <Enter>
CDTsr will be loaded and a welcome message displayed but the program will
remain dormant. You may now activate CDTsr at any time, either from the DOS
line or from within an application, by pressing <Alt><P>.
The following command line parameters are available and should be inserted
after the name of the program, separated by spaces. The order of the
appearance of the command line parameters has no effect.
a) \bold /U - Unload
Inserting this command line parameter, which must appear on its own, causes
CDTsr to remove itself from memory providing it is safe so to do. If it
is not safe for CDTsr to be removed, because other programmes have been
loaded after it, CDTsr will display a message indicating that it is not
safe to unload itself and will remain in memory. If CDTsr is successfully
unloaded, you will be informed of this fact before being returned to the DOS
prompt.
b) /S - Swap File
The program maintains two swap files on disk that are used to temporarily hold
the DOS environment when the handset is being used. These swap files default to:
CDSwp.1$$
CDSwp.2$$
and are stored in the root of drive C. If you wish to change name of the file
used, or the directory where the swap file is stored, use the /S parameter in
the following format:
/S= X:\path\name
without providing an extension. The swap file will then be created using the
name provided and extensions of ".1$$" and ".2$$". If the path specified
cannot be found a message will be displayed indicating that CDTsr cannot be
loaded.
Important Warning for Network Users
Where CDTsr is being used over a network and the swap files are being
stored on the file server, it is essential that each user's swap files are
contained in a different directory on the disk, or carry different names.
This can easily be achieved by using the users home directory. If this is not
done crashes will occur as the users DOS environment, which has been stored to
the swap file, may be overridden by the DOS environment stored by another user
and hence will not be available to be reloaded by the first user when the
handset closed.
c) /M - No Swap Message
By default CDTsr displays a message indicating that it is swapping in and
swapping out as these actions occur. If you have EMS available, CDTsr
will swap to EMS rather than to disk and these messages may be annoying as the
speed of swapping will be virtually instantaneous. You may therefore turn off
the swap message by including this command line parameter.
d) /F - Force use of disk for swapping
By default the system will swap to EMS if it is available. When memory is at
a premium you may want to keep all EMS available for your applications, adding
/F on the command line forces the system to create the swap files on disk.
e) Display Attributes
As for CDPlayer --- /N, /E and /B.
f) /P - 2nd Hot Key
The standard key sequence of <Alt><P> is always available for calling the
handset. However, it may be that you would like to use an alternative key
sequence. You can select an alternative key sequence by using the P
parameter, which takes the following format:
CDTSR /P=\$0000
The four zero's are made up of two pairs of hexadecimal numbers and are
interpreted as follows:
First two digits
These are made up from the following and represent the status of the Shift,
Alt and Ctrl keys:
00 no shifts
01 right shift
02 left shift
04 Ctrl
08 Alt
If you wish to use more than one key in combination, add together the codes
given. For example, <Ctrl><Alt> is "0C".
Second two digits
The second two zeros must represent a valid scan code, in hexadecimal. The
following table sets out the valid scan codes:
A-1E N-31 0-0B F1-3B [-1A
B-30 0-18 1-02 F2-3C ;-27
C-2E P-19 2-03 F3-3D ,-33
D-20 Q-10 3-04 F4-3E /-35
E-12 R-13 4-05 F5-3F \-2B
F-21 S-1F 5-06 F6-40 ]-1B
G-22 T-14 6-07 F7-41 '-28
H-23 U-16 7-08 F8-42 .-34
I-17 V-2F 8-09 F9-43 '-29
J-24 W-11 9-0A F10-44
K-25 X-2D F11-57
L-26 Y-15 F12-58
M-32 Z-2C
For example:
/P=$0244 identifies left shift + F10
/P=$082E identifies Alt + C
/P=$0517 identifies Ctrl + right shift + I
As the alternative key sequences.
g) /R - Replace main Hot Key
The standard Hot Key of <Alt><P> can be replaced using this parameter. It is
used in exactly the same way as "/P" but the defined key sequence will be
available in place of the default not in addition to it. You may use both
"/P" and "/R" together, selecting two sequences of your choosing.
h) /K - Keep in memory
By default the program only keeps a small portion in memory when it is not in
use. It will swap in the remaining code when called and swap it out when
closed. By this method only 6.5k of memory is used by CDTsr. If you wish to
force the program to remain in memory and not swap to disk, add the command
line parameter /K. If this is used the system will take up approximately
86.5k of memory.
The handset is very similar to that contained in CDPlayer, but it does not
provide access to your disc catalogue, and the play mode cannot be changed.
All the functions provided by pressing the numeric keys, described in section
B.4., are available and will remain in force when you exit from the program.
The program will also remember the status of the drive. It is therefore
possible to call up the handset, pause a CD, close the handset and continue
work and then call it again to continue play from the same point on the disk
--- very handy when taking phone calls.
