This is the first of what I hope will be many quality programs. I wrote this program because I found the Apple CD Audio Player to be very inconvienient to use on my 15" monitor while trying to do other things (like making programs!). I hope you find this as useful as I do.
Features included:
- Complete control of the CD player from the Control Strip
- Uses the same database as AppleCD Audio Player for CD title and track names
- Balloon Help track info (try it, you'll like it)
- Works side by side with the AppleCD Audio Player and other CD programs
Program Requirements:
- Any Macintosh or Mac OS compatible running System 7.0 or later and the Control Strip
from Apple
- Apple CD Drive or compatible
Known Limitations:
- If you have more than one CD player, you can only control the first one
To install, drop the file CD Control into the Control Strips folder located in the System folder, and reboot.
