README-File for MP3ext V2.3b4 (28.12.1997)
How to install? quitze simple: right click on the file MP3ext.inf, and choose
install from the popup-menu.
If you are using Win95, then the directory you are installing from, needs to
have only short names in it's path! i.e. C:\MP3ext22b99\ wont work. This is
a limitation of Win95! Workaround: rename the directory to something like
C:\MP3ext\ . Then the installation will work.
First of all, all this information has moved to the help file.
For further versions, there will only be the detailed history in here
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
!!!!! Important
!!!!! If you are upgrading from a previous version ( < V2.2)
!!!!! please read the update.txt
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
But for those who can't read help-files on their systems, here is a brief
description, of MP3ext:
It's a small extension to the explorer which adds a Property-Sheet to the
MP3-Files, which shows some info about it. ID3-Tag is supported too, and
has got big support for editing them; even multiple of it. With the new
actions, it is possible to export and reuse the ID3-Tag data in any way
you like.
Distribution:
Anywhere, as long as the following files stay together:
File_id.diz
MP3ext.dll
MP3ext.hlp
MP3ext.inf
Readme.txt
actions\Readme.txt
actions\Clipalbum.mp3a
actions\Clipdefault.mp3a
actions\ExecHTML.mp3a
actions\ExecPlaylist.mp3a
actions\ExecRename.mp3a
Now for the history:
