ADDENDUM
The following changes have been made in revision 3.3 of CDPlayer.
1 Custom Programme Selection
A button is included on the full handset to allow you to select a
custom programme using pick lists.
Click on the button, or select 'Control' followed by 'Custom
programme...' from the menu bar, and a dialog box will be displayed
showing two lists:
a Tracks on disc
b Custom programme.
A note of the running time for the current custom programme is also
shown.
To add a track to the end of the list selected tracks, simply double
click on the track name in the track list. Double clicking on a track
title in the custom programme list removes the track from the
programme. As you make changes to the selected items the running
time of the custom programme is updated.
When you are happy with your selections, click on OK and it will be
saved. If you do not wish to store your selection click on Cancel and
the original list will be left unchanged.
2 Fit tracks to time
This facility allows you to make a selection of the number of tracks
which will fit within a specified time period. This can be very
useful when you wish to record from CDs.
Select 'Control' followed by 'Fit tracks to time...' from the menu bar
of the full handset. The system will ask you to enter the number of
minutes of music you require - it will offer a default of 45.
Enter a number between 1 and 80 and click on OK. If you do not wish
to proceed clicking on Cancel will return you to the handset.
The system will see how many tracks it can fit in the time entered and
display a message box with the number of tracks and the playing time.
If you wish to continue click on Yes and the tracks selected will be
placed in the Custom Program field of the disc record and you will be
presented with the Custom Program pick list to allow you to make
adjustments to the list if you wish. Clicking on No will return you
to the handset without changing the existing programme.
If you wish you can now make changes to the tracks selected and then
click on OK to return to the handset.
To play the music fitting to the time entered, select Mode and Custom,
then Play.
3 Support for multiple CD ROM drives
CDPlayer for Windows allows you to select which CD ROM you wish to use
when you have more than one in your system. On first running
CDPlayer, it will default to the first drive installed, however, once
you change the drive it will remember your changes and use your
selected drive on subsequent accesses.
To select a drive, proceed as follows:
a Select 'File' then 'Select CD ROM drive...' from the menu bar.
b A dialog box will appear in which will be listed the drives
available to you.
c Select the drive to be used, either by double clicking on the
drive letter, or clicking on it once and then on OK, and the
drive will be selected.
If, after calling up the dialog box you decide that you do not wish to
continue, simply click on Cancel.

B. BASIC OPERATIONS
1 Run CDPlayer
You may either run CDPlayer by clicking on the CD icon in the Jupiter
program group, or by using the Run program option provided in the File
menu of the program manager. To use the latter method, click on File and
then Run... and enter:
C:\CDPLAYER\PLAYER <Enter>
substituting a different drive and path if you have installed CDPlayer
elsewhere.
The 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 --- on most systems
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.
You may minimize the program at any time. The CD icon will be displayed
