- Two Arexx scripts facilitate the playing of audio cd's from within Directory opus 4.
-
- Based on DOpusLHARexx2 by Geoff Seeley
-
- CDDAHandler.rexx : The Handler.
- ListCDDA.rexx : The user interface.
-
- Before continuing you will need 2 other programs. These are
-
- YACDP version 1.2 or better
-
- YACDP by Frank Wurkner
-
- Both of these programs are available from Aminet in the disk/cdrom directory.
-
-
- Installation:
-
- 1. copy both files into your REXX: directory
- copy CDDAHandler.rexx ListCDDA.rexx to rexx:
-
- 2. Set the script bits on them.
- protect s:CDDAHandler.rexx +s
- protect s:ListCDDA.rexx +s
-
- 3. Add the line
- run >nil: <nil: REXX:CDDAHandler.rexx
- To your s:user-startup file
-
- 4. run Directory opus and enter the configuration program.
-
- 5. Set up a button to run ListCDDA.rexx (See the opus4 manual for how to do this)
- Call it something like CDDA!
-
- 6. Reboot you computer.
-
- you will now be ready to try out the scripts.
-
- Ensure YACDP is running. ( I start it in my wbstartup drawer with the cx_popup
- tooltype set to no)
-
- Load directory opus and insert an audio cd into you cdrom drive.
-
- Click on your newly made CDDA button and wait a few seconds. The selected directory
- window will now contain a list of Audio tracks on the disk. If this hasn't happend
- click the CDDA button once or twice more as the CD may not have been recognised.
-
- To play a track just double click it in Directory list!
-
- Just for fun I have included some of the standard CD play functions in the list
- which can be operated in the same way.
-
-
- It also spots disks which have only data on them and displays an appropriate message.
-
-
- TODO
-
- Install script! (Is this really needed)
- Parameters to set width of cd name and wheter to display time!
-
- Far future
-
- An audio cd device driver so directory listings of an audiocd would return
- track numbers/track names from database and running them would play them!
