DESCRIPTION

Carlanthano is a jukebox for Windows.  It creates a playlist of multimedia files and can be left to play them in the taskbar while you work.

Carlanthano has all the playmodes you are used to in your real life HiFi systems and some new ones.  It has many customizable features and management tools for your playlists, including ID3 tag support, custom playrates, song favorites, and play timers.

Carlanthano uses the same MCI drivers that media player uses, and will help you make the most out of your multimedia collections.

INSTALLING

If you obtained this program as a zip file, you must place the files KanastaCorpUtils.dll, KanastaCorpUsrCtrls.ocx and KanastaCorpComCtrls.dll in your \windows\system folder.
The files KanastaCorpUsrCtrls.ocx and KanastaCorpComCtrls.dll must be registered using regsvr32.exe.  This can be done manually or using the included script register.js.
If you have trouble doing this, you must use the install version of the programs instead.  We will not entertain support requests in using regsvr32.exe

You should avoid moving the files KanastaCorpUsrCtrls.ocx and KanastaCorpComCtrls.dll.  If you do, you must first unregister it using regsvr32.exe /u, and register it again in the new location.

QUICK START

*** Adding files to the playlist ***

The first time Carlanthano is run you are presented with an empty album.  Firstly, add some multimedia files to the playlist.  You can:

•	choose the menu Album->Add to album... then "Add Files..."
•	drag and drop files from explorer into the playlist
•	
*** Playing files ***

Now select a file you wish to play from the list.  Start it playing by pressing the Play button on the console.

If you receive an error message, you may not have the correct drivers to play the file you have chosen.  Please refer to the FAQ and Troubleshooting sections for help.

If you have no trouble playing the file, you may now want to explore the different playmodes in the Modes menu or using the buttons.  To see what something does, hold your mouse cursor over the item, and a tooltip will appear.

*** Saving albums ***

To save an album, choose "Save" or "Save as..." from the Album menu.

The next time you run Carlanthano it will automatically open the last album.

UNINSTALLING
