- CDP ----- Generic Compact Disc player program ---------------- Aug 15, 1988
-
- CDP is a program that allows your CD-ROM drive to play standard
- CD audio discs. You can use CDP as either a standard DOS program
- or as a Windows application.
-
- In order to use CDP, your CD-ROM drive software must support audio commands.
- Some versions do not. Please contact your CD-ROM drive manufacturer to
- obtain an update.
-
-
- USING CDP FROM DOS
-
- To run CDP under DOS, call it with command line options like this:
-
- CDP /D:<driver> /a /s <Track>
-
-
- Options: What the option means:
- -------- ---------------------
- /D:<driverName> Name of the CD-ROM driver to be used (the same as found
- in config.sys)
- --Use ONLY if the CD-ROM Extensions are not already loaded.
- --CDP will use the current CD-ROM drive if the MS CD-ROM
- Extensions are loaded. Otherwise it will load the driver
- specified with the /D: option.
-
- /a Don't assume CDP is the only Audio program (slow!)
- --Use if your drive doesn't seem to be getting track
- information correctly.
-
- /s Stop the CD
- --Use if disc is playing.
-
- <Track> Start Track Number
- --Use to indicate at which track your compact disc should
- start playing.
-
- An example command line call would be this:
-
- CDP 1
-
- This will call up CDP, and have it start playing Track 1 of your CD Disc.
-
- CDP /s
-
- This will stop your CD Disc playing.
-
- CDP /D:MSCD001 4
-
- This will start playing the CD Disc on the drive named 'MSCD001' at track 4.
-
-
- USING CDP UNDER WINDOWS
-
- CDP Requires Windows 2.0 or higher
-
- WIN CDP /D:name
-
- The driver name need only be specified if the CD-ROM Extentions are not loaded
- You only need to specifed the driver name the first time CDP is run, it is saved
- in WIN.INI for future reference.
-
-
- If you see the message "Can not find CD-ROM drive", you should:
-
- 1) Make sure the CD-ROM extensions are loaded
-
- -- and --
-
- 2) Double check that the driver name option parameter matches your
- CD-ROM driver name.
-
-
- CDP CONTROL BUTTONS
-
- Running under Windows, CDP will display a control panel with standard
- CD audio buttons. From left to right these are:
-
- Play Pause Stop Back-Track Forward-Track Rewind Fast forward Eject
-
- You may cause your compact disc to repeat play by typing <Alt>-<R> at any
- time CDP is the active application.
-
-
- ERRATIC MOUSE ACTION
-
- Occasionally, your mouse will behave erratically while CDP is the active
- application. If so, change the CD-ROM drive I/O port number assignment.
- For more information, please see your CD-ROM drive documentation.
-
- Certain CDROM drivers will disable interrupts while accesing the CDROM, this
- will cause the mouse cursor to "freeze" until the operation is done.
