Introduction

The CD Player application turns your MPC compatible computer and CD ROM drive into a full function Audio CD player.  Now you can work on your computer while it plays songs from your favorite CDs.

Unlike other CD player applications, CD Player lets you decide which tracks you want to play by giving you complete track programmability with a simple mouse click.  You also get Random Play, Repeat Track, Repeat CD, and Repeat Program.  Last but not least, all tracks are listed on the CD Player window.  To play a track just click on it.  Direct track access could not be easier.

CD Player status information always shows you the length of the CD, your time position on the CD, the remaining play time for the CD, the length of the current track, your time position on the track, and the remaining track play time.  Even as an icon, CD Player shows you the track currently playing.

All you need to use CD Player is Windows 3.1, a CD ROM drive, sound card with speakers connected, and the Windows Audio CD MCI driver.  Most MPC computers or MPC upgrade kits have everything you need.  The unregistered version of CD Player will play for 20 minutes before shutting down.  Registration removes this limit and the registration reminder window.

Introduction


Starting CD Player and Changing CDs

Starting CD Player

To start CD Player double click on the CD player icon in Program Manager.  The CD Player window appears.

If you already have an Audio CD in the CD ROM drive, track and time information will appear and most functions of CD Player will be available.  If not, most CD player functions will be grayed and unavailable until you insert an Audio CD into the CD ROM Drive.

Upon inserting a Audio CD into the CD ROM Drive the track and time information appears.  The CD WILL NOT automatically start playing.  To start playing the CD at the first track press the play button [image].  The CD will play each track sequentially and stop playing after the last track plays.

Changing CDs

You may eject the CD from the CD ROM drive at any time (even if it is currently playing).  The controls on the CD player window will again be grayed and unavailable until you insert another audio CD.


CD Controls

Buttons on the CD Control

1 - Prev Track

2 - Next Track

3 - Play

4 - Pause

5 - Step Back	(not supported on all hardware)

6 - Step Forward	(not supported on all hardware)

7 - Stop

8 - Eject	(not supported on all hardware)

The CD Control is one of the ways you can control your CD ROM Drive when playing audio CDs.  This control functions much like the CD Control you have been using on your home CD player.  Below is a description of each button and the scroll bar.

Prev Track

If the CD Player is currently not playing a CD, pressing this button will move the CD player to the previous track.  The track and time information in the window will be updated to show the length of the track, location on the CD, etc.

If the CD player is currently playing a CD and no special features are in effect (random, program, repeat, etc.), playback will move to the first second of the CURRENT track.  If you press the button again (within three seconds) the CD will start playing the previous track.

If you have special features enabled, CD Player will assume you have finished playing the current track and move on to the next track based on the type of special feature enabled.  For example, if you have programmed tracks and press the Prev Track button twice, the NEXT track IN THE PROGRAM will start playing.

Next Track

If the CD Player is currently not playing a CD, pressing this button will move the CD Player to the next track.  The track and time information in the window will be updated.

If the CD Player is playing back a CD and no special features are in effect (random, program, repeat, etc), pressing this button will move the CD Player to the beginning  of the next track.

If you have special features enabled, CD Player will assume you have finished playing the current track and move on to the next track based on the type of special feature enabled.  For example, if you have programmed tracks and press the Next Track button, the next track IN THE PROGRAM will start playing.

Play

Pressing this button starts the CD Player playing.  The song at the current track will start playing based on the Time position on the CD (i.e. playback may not necessarily start at the beginning of the track).

Any special features you may have in effect control which track plays.  If you have no special features enabled and have not specifically moved the current position on the CD after loading the CD ROM drive, the first track starts playing.  If you have programmed tracks, the first track in the program plays.  If you are playing random tracks, a random track plays.  As each track finishes, the special features again determine what the next track to play will be.

The Play button is also used to resume playback after you have paused the CD.  Playback will resume at the same location where you originally paused (assuming you have not manually moved the time location of the CD with the scroll bar or other controls).

Pause

If you want to pause the CD Player (for example, to take a phone call) you can press the Pause button.  CD sound will stop and CD Player will wait for you to start playback again.  You may also want to Mute playback.  Muteing turns off the sound, but playback continues.

Step Back

This button moves you backwards several seconds.  You can use this as a quick scan of the current track.  The scroll bar (see below) is recommended for this purpose.  This button is not supported by all hardware and may be disabled.

Step Forward

This button moves you forward several seconds.  You can use this as a quick scan of the current track.  The scroll bar (see below) is recommended for this purpose.  This button is not supported by all hardware and may be disabled.

Stop

This button stops playback of the CD and returns to track 1.  Pressing the play button restarts play.  Unlike the pause button, however, playback begins a track 1 (or another track if special features are active).

Eject

The eject button stops playback and ejects the Audio CD from the CD ROM drive.    This button is not supported by all hardware and may be disabled or appear non functional (it stops playback but does not eject).

Many of these functions are also available as shortcut hot keys.

Scroll Bar

The scroll bar under the CD control buttons gives you more control over the CD player.  This scroll bar always indicates your current position on the CD (left most being beginning and right most begin ending).  As the CD plays the scroll bar moves from left to right to show your current position relative to the entire CD.  If any special features are enabled which cause previous tracks to play, the scroll bar will jump in either direction as tracks are played.

You can click on the right or left scroll buttons to move the current position forward to backward 10 seconds.  This provides an excellent quick scan of a track to find a section you want to hear. Clicking on the scroll region right or left of the current scroll position indicator moves the current position on the CD forward or backward 1 minute.  You can also use your pointing device to drag the scroll position indicator to a location on the bar where you want to move the current CD position to.

Since the scroll bar indicates you position relative to the entire CD, you may inadvertently change tracks.


Jumping to a Track

CD Player makes it very easy to jump around on the CD from track to track.  All the tracks on the CD are listed in the track list.  Using your pointing device, click on the track you want to play.  Immediately your CD ROM searches out that track and begins playing it (even if the CD is not currently in Play mode).  Not the right song?  Just click on another track!

The track list also serves as a visual indicator of the current track playing (it is highlighted).  This gives you a good idea of the current track in relation to the other tracks on the CD.

You can also use the CD Controls and shortcut hot keys to move from the current track to the next (or previous) track and to pause or stop the CD.

The Track List is also used to Program CD Tracks to play in the order you determine.


CD Repeat

When the CD Repeat box is checked, the CD will restart at the beginning once the last  song on the CD is played.  This allows you to insert one CD and play it sequentially from beginning to end and have it restart.  In effect you never run out of music.

Unchecking this button turns off this feature but has no effect on the current track playing.


Random Play

Random play is a powerful feature which will randomly play tracks from the CD.  This allows you to take a CD which you have previously listened to  and play back the songs in an unknown order.  This can bring new life to CDs you listen to often.

Unlike many home CD players which may "randomly" play the same track more than once, CD Player keeps track of the random tracks previously played and will not repeat a track during the random play process.  Once all tracks have been played randomly the CD player stops playing.

If you have the CD Repeat feature enabled, the random playback will not stop after playing back all songs on the CD.  Instead, the previous track playlist is cleared, and the random playback process starts over.  Since all tracks have previously been played, repeating previously played tracks is unavoidable.


Programming CD Tracks

A powerful feature of CD player is the ability to program your favorite tracks and to have only those track playback in the order you programmed them.  This allows you to eliminate tracks which you do not currently want to play.

Unlike you home CD player which may be cumbersome to program, CD Player is easy!  Check the Program box to enable programming.  Now, click on the tracks in the track list in the order you want them to play.  Each track clicked will be added to the program track list and will be in your program.  When you have programmed you tracks, press the Play button to playback the tracks in the order you indicated.

You may remove a track from the program list by clicking on the track number in the program list.  Removing tracks programmed to play after the current track  will have no effect on the the program.  Removing a programmed track which has already played is not recommended as CD Player will skip the next track in the program list.

Unchecking the Program box will terminate program and clear the program play list.  CD playing will continue from the current track which may have been playing.


Exiting

To exit CD Player simply click on the Quit button on the CD Player window or use the Windows system menu to close the window (or double click on the control box).  When you exit with the Quit button the CD will stop playing.

If you exit CD Player in any other way (use the control box, task manager, or shutdown windows), the current CD will play to the end.

Note: You may eject the CD from the CD ROM drive at any time (even if it is currently playing).  The controls on the CD player window will be grayed and unavailable until you insert another audio CD.

You can also exit CD Player with a shortcut hot key.


Limitations

Display Updates

CD Player depends on the Windows CD MCI driver to deliver information about the current time position on the CD, the length of the CD,  the current track, and length of track.  CD Player uses this information to update it's displays and to determine when a track change has occurred during playback so special features (random play, program play, etc.) can be implemented.

The MCI control provides CD Player with this information once every second.  There may be times when the first second of the next sequential track plays before CD Player is alerted that a track change has occurred and the next random or program track can be played.  The track and time information may also be a second out of date.

Although the notification time (1 second) could be changed programatically, each time the MCI control informs CD Player as to the current status of the CD device, system CPU time is required.  Setting this interval any lower than one second would cause unacceptable degradation of other concurrent Windows applications (they would be very sluggish).

Even at one second, you may notice a very slight sluggishness in other Windows applications.  This slight reduction in speed should not cause any problems in other windows applications.  You may, however, notice a slight delay between pressing a key or clicking the mouse, and the response of Windows to the event.

Communications programs which may have a small buffer for processing information while they do not have CPU clicks allocated to them may be adversely effected.  You may want to test playing a CD at the same time as transferring a file to make sure this is not a problem.

If you find that other programs are working two slowly when you are playing a CD, check the No Display option in CD Player.  This will play the current CD to the end, but will not require the 1 second notification.

Hidden Tracks

CDs can have hidden tracks or tracks which are longer than the CD reports.  If either are the case, the time and track information may not be accurate.

Caddyless CD ROMs

CD Player has a known incompatibility with some caddyless CD ROM drives (drives that can eject CD's via software).  If you find that inserting a CD into the drive does not enable the control buttons, or the CD is ejected shortly after being inserted, you should quit CD Player, insert the CD, and restart CD Player.  You will need to repeat this procedure if you insert a CD while CD Player is running.


Mute

The Mute box, when checked, turns off the CD audio to the speakers.  This permits you to take a phone call etc. without being disturbed by the CD Player.  Playback continues while you have muted the sound.  When you uncheck this box the sound from  CD  Player resumes.

You may also use the pause button on the CD Controls to pause playback.  You can then press the Play button to resume playback when you paused it.

Note: The Mute function of CD Player may not effect sound playback in headphones connected to your CD ROM drive.

You can also mute with a shortcut hot key.


The Windows MCI CD Driver

The Windows MCI CD Driver is required for CD Player to access and control you CD ROM drive.  This driver is often included with Windows, your sound card, or CD ROM Drive.  You can check to see if the driver is installed by accessing the Control Panel - Drivers utility.

If you need to install the driver please refer to the documentation which came with your hardware/software

To be able to hear the sound form your CD ROM drive you should have speakers connected to your sound card, or headphones connected directly to your CD ROM Drive.  Note: The Mute function of CD Player may not effect sound playback in headphones connected to your CD ROM drive.

Note: CD Player was tested on computers with Creative Lab's Sound Blaster Pro Multi-Media Upgrade Kit installed.  It should work with any Windows 3.1 system with the proper hardware and MCI driver installed.


Intro Play

Intro Play gives you an easy way to preview the first seven seconds of each track on the CD.  This will help you determine which track you want to program, or if you have the correct CD installed for the song you want to hear.

When this box is checked CD Player will play the first 7 seconds of each track starting with track 1 and continuing to the last track.  Other special features are ignored.


Track Repeat

Track Repeat gives you the ability to repeat the current track.  When checked, the current track will play over and over.  You should uncheck this box when you want CD Player to continue to the next track.

If you currently have the Program box checked, the label in the Track Repeat box changed to Program Repeat.  Checking both Program and Program Repeat boxes will cause your programmed tracks to play over and over starting from the first  track in the program and ending with the last.  When the last track in the program completes, the program is restarted at the first track.


Track Information

Track information tells you the number of tracks on the current CD and the number of the track you are currently positioned on.  When in the play mode, this is the track currently playing.  When not is play mode, and you have used the CD controls to move the current position on the CD, this number is the track at the current position.

This information is updated once every second and may be a second out of date.


Time Information

Time information gives you important stats on the current CD and your position on it.  This information includes the total length of the CD, your current position on the CD, and the time remaining on the CD if you are playing the CD sequentially (i.e. you are not playing a program or have random play enabled).

In addition to CD time information, the length of the current track, your position on the current track, and the time remaining on the current track also displays.

This information is always in Hours:Minutes:Seconds format.  It is updated once every second and may be a second out of date.
