CD Player
                          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, Pride Software Works! 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 remain 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, CD ROM Drive with
speakers connected, and the Windows MCI driver.  Most MPC
computers or MPC upgrade kits have everything you need.
