System Requirements
QuickMP3 1.0 requires a Macintosh computer with QuickTime 4 (although it is compatible with earlier versions of QuickTime). A Power Macintosh is almost certainly necessary for any kind of useful performance.
Quick Start
1. Launch QuickMP3. By default, QuickMP3 will open an empty play list.
2. Use the Add Folder… and Add Item… buttons to add MP3s (and QuickTime movies) to the play list. Or just drag and drop MP3s and QuickTime movies to the window.
3. Click on an item to start playing it.
Features
Check Continuous to play the tracks in your play list continuously.
Check Random to play the tracks in random order.
Check Autoplay to have the play list start playing automatically when opened.
Creating an AutoStart MP3 CD-ROM
If you want to create a self-playing CD-ROM of your favourite MP3s, then:
1. Create an autoplay play list (check continuous if you want to play more than the first track, random if you like).
2. Put a copy of QuickAmp on the CD-ROM along with your play list, and finally
3. Make the play list the AutoStart file for the CD, and you're done!
That's about it.
QuickMP3 is intended principally as an MP3 play list manager for QuickTime 4, but it is compatible with earlier versions of QuickTime (and will play any sound-only movie -- it will play other movies too, but it won't show them, so it's kind of pointless).
Change History
1.0.1 23/4/99
Opening a QuickMP3 MP3 document (e.g. by double-clicking) adds it to the frontmost play list (QuickMP3 will create a new play list if none is open). Double-clicking QuickMP3 MP3 no longer causes it to crash.
Changed user interface slightly. You now need to double-click a movie in the list to start playing it (allows you to select and delete entries without interrupting the song being played). Eventually, I'll support dragging movies around to re-order them, and dragging movies between playlists.
Fixed crashing bug if you open a playlist file with an unsaved playlist window open.
Fixed mysterious crashing bug when you let a playlist play (so much for my amazing QA!). It's now been tested for almost an hour under the most rigorous conditions.
