- _C_d_P_l_a_y_e_r is a program for playing audio tapes and CDs. When called as
- ddddaaaattttppppllllaaaayyyyeeeerrrr it works as a tape player. When called as ccccddddppppllllaaaayyyyeeeerrrr or when the
- ----ddddeeeevvvv ccccdddd option is specified, _C_D_p_l_a_y_e_r works as a CD player.
-

- _C_d_P_l_a_y_e_r plays audio CDs that are loaded in the CD-ROM drive. The audio
- data is read from the CD via the SCSI bus and is played through the 16-
- bit audio hardware of recent IRIX systems. _C_d_P_l_a_y_e_r can also capture
- audio data into disc files either as entire tracks or selections within a
- track.*
-
- _C_d_P_l_a_y_e_r is different from _c_d_h_e_a_d_p_h_o_n_e(_2) which operates the CD-ROM drive
- as a traditional CD player, playing the audio through the headphone and
- line-out jacks of the CD-ROM drive.
-
- DDDDaaaattttPPPPllllaaaayyyyeeeerrrr
- _D_a_t_P_l_a_y_e_r plays and captures digital audio tapes on the 4mm DAT drive.
- The tapes are compatible with those used in commercial DAT recorders.
- The audio data is read from the DAT via the SCSI bus and is played
- through the 16-bit audio hardware of recent IRIX systems. _D_a_t_P_l_a_y_e_r can
- also capture audio data to disk files either as entire tracks or
- selections within a track. Recording to DAT is accomplished via the
- export utilities in _s_o_u_n_d_t_r_a_c_k(_1) or from the original _d_a_t_m_a_n(_1).

- ----ddddeeeevvvv _d_e_v_i_c_e
- specifies the particular CD-ROM or DAT device to use, for example:
- /_d_e_v/_s_c_s_i/_s_c_0_d_3_l_0 or /_d_e_v/_m_t/_t_p_s_0_d_2_n_s_v. In addition, with _C_d_P_l_a_y_e_r
- you may specify the directory on which the drive is mounted, for
- example: /_C_D_R_O_M.
-
- ----ssssmmmm displays only the transport control section of the window.
-
- ----nnnnooooffffoooorrrrkkkk
- causes _C_d_P_l_a_y_e_r to not fork itself into the background.
-
- OOOOPPPPEEEERRRRAAAATTTTIIIIOOOONNNN
- _C_d_P_l_a_y_e_r operates like many commercial CD and DAT players but the
- transport controls and time displays conform to the look and behavior of
- other digital media apps such as _m_o_v_i_e_m_a_k_e_r(_1) Most operations are
- straight forward. See the on-line help for detailed information.

- A note about _d_a_t_p_l_a_y_e_r is in order however. The first time you invoke
- _d_a_t_p_l_a_y_e_r with a particular tape, it scans the tape to obtain the track
- starts and durations. You can let _d_a_t_p_l_a_y_e_r complete this operation for
- the entire tape or abort in which case _d_a_t_p_l_a_y_e_r will use the information
- it has. You can continue scanning via an entry in the OOOOppppttttiiiioooonnnnssss menu or
- let _d_a_t_p_l_a_y_e_r accrue the track information as you play or locate to
- tracks which haven't been scanned. _D_a_t_P_l_a_y_e_r saves the information in a
- database file similar to the _C_d_P_l_a_y_e_r database file so scanning need only
- be done once.

- The music catalog stores titles, artists and program information for CD
- and DAT tapes. When a CD or DAT is inserted in the drive, _C_d_P_l_a_y_e_r
- searches the music catalog for an entry containing catalog information
- for that recording. If it finds one, it displays the information in its
- large display panel. Data from the recording's table of contents is used
- as the key for searching the music catalog.
-
- New information is added to the catalog simply by typing it into the
- appropriate fields of _C_d_P_l_a_y_e_r'_s display. The catalog currently holds
- the title of the recording, the artist's name and a title for each
- program on the recording.
-
- When looking for a catalog entry, _C_d_P_l_a_y_e_r searches a list of
- directories. The default list is the single directory ~/._c_d_d_b. An
- alternate list can be specified by the shell environment variable
- CDDB_PATH, which takes as its value a string which is a comma-separated
- list of directories.
-
- When _C_d_P_l_a_y_e_r needs to create a new music catalog entry, it has to pick a
- single directory. The default directory is ~/._c_d_d_b. An alternate
- directory can be specified by either a command line option, or the shell
- environment variable CDDB_WRITE_DIR.
