- CD Player
- Introduction
-
- The CD player application turns your MPC compatible computer and
- CD ROM drive into a full function Audio CD Player. Now you can
- work on your computer while it plays songs from your favorite
- CDs.
-
- Unlike other CD player applications, TARDIS CD Player lets you
- decide which tracks you want to play by giving you complete track
- programmability with a simple mouse click. You also get Random
- Play, Repeat Track, Repeat CD, and Repeat Program. Last but not
- least, all tracks are listed on the CD Player window. To play a
- track just click on it. Direct track access could not be easier.
-
- CD Player status information always shows you the length of the
- CD, your time position on the CD, the remain play time for the
- CD, the length of the current track, your time position on the
- track, and the remaining track play time. Even as an icon, CD
- Player shows you the track currently playing.
-
- All you need to use CD Player is Windows 3.1, CD ROM Drive with
- speakers connected, and the Windows MCI driver. Most MPC
- computers or MPC upgrade kits have everything you need.
-
- CD Player Evaluation
- You are granted a 15 day evaluation period to try CD Player. If
- you use it after this evaluation period you must register it.
- Please see the on-line help system for details about the license
- agreement and the registration process.
-
- Initial Installation
- This program is provided in one of two forms. It is either part
- of the TARDIS Applications diskette or can be downloaded
- individually from CompuServe or other BBS systems.
-
- Diskette
- If the program is provided on diskette and you have used the
- diskette's install program, the software has already been
- installed and program manager icons created. You can begin using
- it immediately. Please see the section "Running for the first
- time."
-
- Download
- If you downloaded this file you should follow the instructions
- below. The program is provided as a self-extracting executable
- file. Just follow the instructions below to install the program
- on your hard drive. You MUST already have a copy of the Visual
- Basic 3.0 runtime DLL VBRUN300.DLL. It must be installed in your
- Windows \SYSTEM directory. If you do not have this file you can
- download it from the Microsoft Visual Basic forum on CompuServe.
- This file is not included with CD Player.
-
- 1.Choose a drive and directory on which you want to install CD
- Player. If the directory does not exist you must create it
- now.

- into the directory.
- 3.Make a backup of this file for safe keeping. You will
- delete this file later.
- 4.Change to the CD Player directory.

- the current directory.
- 6.Delete the file CDPLY.EXE. It is no longer used. Make sure
- you make a backup per step 3 above.

- extension. If any files matching this description exist
- they should be copied to your Windows \SYSTEM directory and
- then deleted from the CD Player directory.

- the EXE file CDPLAY.EXE.

-
- Running for the First Time

- number is assigned and the registration reminder screen
