CD-Runner« 5.0
New Features
»»»»»»»»»»»»»»
CD-Runner 3.0 was love at first sight. When you first loaded
4.0 nobody heard from you for days. So what could we possibly
have added in CD-Runner 5.0 Gold to make things even better?
Take a look at this...
(Note: For all of you who missed 4.0, you can catch up on ALL
of CD-Runner's great features by pressing F1 at any time, and
going to General Information. This info is also included in the
cdrunner.txt file available in your CD-Runner directory, and on
our web site at www.cdrunner.com.)
>>> Internet! Internet! Internet!
Automatic link to your favorite Web Browser:
»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»»
In the CD-Runner Setup - Advanced Section, you'll find the
utility for selecting your favorite web browser. Once this is
configured, you'll note a new www launch button on the upper
right-hand screen of every CD-Runner faceplate. What's it for?

First thing we did was upgrade our secured fast-server web site
to include on-line Registration, free on-line upgrades for
registered users (Sorry - but if you're not yet registered,
overinstalling upgrades will NOT extend your Trial Period.),
direct email for Product Support and Feedback, Installation
Info & Cool Tips - and there's more in the works. In the
future we'll be adding on-line conferencing for LIVE product
support, CD-Runner plug-ins, and direct links to the latest
and greatest in Audio CD's, and CD-ROM's.
YOU SHOULDN'T HAVE TO GO HUNTING FOR US!
So, when you want us, all you have to do is click the www
button on your CD-Runner faceplate. Your pre-selected web
browser will auto-launch, and take you directly to our site for
these goodies. Neat, huh? But there's more...
(Note: If your browser is already running in the background,
just go www.cdrunner.com, and you're in.)
Sing while you surf!
Face it, these days we spend a lot of time on the net. As
rates comes down and transfer speed goes up, the net is
becoming an integral part of your everyday PC world. CD-Runner
takes you there with music! Or you can run CD-ROM applications
in the background. Launch your favorite CD, then just click the
www button. CD-Runner will minimize to floating Remote
Controls, and launch you straight to our site to check out the
latest. Then you can just continue surfing, with CD-Runner in
the background.
We've done wonders in giving you TOTAL control of your CD drive
while on the net. How? Read on...
>>> New Minimize Options!
These add power and control to your CD/Internet life. In Setup,
you can choose to have CD-Runner launch a moveable Remote
Control, which includes almost all of the features our
full-screen faceplates. Drop-down mini-faceplates and Title
Selection boxes are available with a simple click on imbedded
hotspots.
You forgot to set this option? That's ok - It's also available as
an icon in your Windows 95 Systray!
>>> Media Runner - New!
CD-Runner now comes with an additional faceplate for running/
programming multimedia files in all your favorite formats -
WAV, MID, MIDI, RMI, AVI, MMM, MOV, and MPG. You can also
record and link any .wav or .mid (sound or music) file to a
title CD-ROM launch. For your convenience the Multimedia
Runner enables quick recording and preview of sound files to
choose from. Default storage directories provide quick user
access to stored files. Add pizzazz to program intros with
introductory song clips or pre-recorded instructions for using
the program to be launched.
>>> New Main Menu
First thing you'll notice in CD-Runner 5.0 Gold is a new
browser-type Main Menu. You can set this to load every
time you launch CD-Runner, or configure your options to
directly launch whatever CD or CD-ROM is in your drive
whenever you launch CD-Runner. Here's what it offers:
╗ Automatic link to your favorite Web Browser.
╗ CD-Runner Quick Tips.
╗ Direct links to the CD-Runner Web Site.
╗ Hypertext links to the 4 major Runners (Audio CD,
CD-ROM, Media & RD).
╗ Menu links to the Audio CD Library, CD-ROM / RD
Libraries, Setup, & more.
╗ Custom fonts, colors and background graphics.
>>> Any improvements on existing features? You bet!
You'll notice that everything runs faster and smoother.
Graphics load faster, more thumbnails are available, LED's are
hotter, the libraries are easier to use, and the Audio Section
now includes features previously reserved for professionals. The
CD-Runner help section has also been upgraded to provide help for
all of the new features. Just press F1 at any time.
Virtually every screen and section has been thoroughly re-thought
and re-designed to take full advantage of today's technology, and
make CD-Runner the ULTIMATE CD Launcher you've been looking for.
So check it out, and enjoy! If you have any suggestions, feel
free to drop us a line. Your feedback helps us create a better
product.
