DigitalCD 3.10

Hello,

DigitalCD 3.10 and the related audio modules (AudioMPEG 0.33, Vorbis 0.19, DiskSample 0.54 and TimPlayer .125) can be downloaded from:
http://www.riscos-digitalcd.net/digitalcd/player/download.htm

The modules archive also includes a copy of the latest AmpPlayer modules (v1.42).
The documentation, sources and file converters derived from these sources are available on the same page.

The Cthugha plug-in has seen a received a few new features and the AudioBump and TimVis plug-ins a few bug fixes:

Thanks for your work.

Are there any of the modules compiled to work without StrongArm.

ie for VRPC-DL

For MP3, you will have to change the file type association from DiskSample to AMPlayer ( “1AD = smp” to “1AD = amp” in !DcDRes.Setup). MP3 radio won’t work thought since the streaming is performed by the DiskSample module.

AC3, Ogg Vorbis and FLAC code uses StrongARM instructions.

WAV files and tracker modules (.MOD, Impulse Tracker, FastTracker, etc) will work on non-StrongARM machines.

I’ve put together a hacky WebJames CGI program to respond to inputs (passed via URL) and control DigitalCD:

(full size)

This is implemented using the &5237E Wimp message.

I have two questions:

1. Is there a way to retrieve the current radio station name?
2. Is there a way to play a specific “track” by track number? This isn’t for playing a local MP3, it’s for allowing direct choice of radio station.

Thanks.

Hi Rick,

the remote control was merely designed to provide some simple ways to control some functions of DigitalCD from utilities handling multimedia keyboards or IR remotes. As such only basic functionality was exposed, so the answer is a no to both questions.
Regarding the first question though, as some point DigitalCD stopped using reason codes 6 & 7 to broadcast the title but instead rotates on a list of values (station name, title, album, artist, etc) which it broadcasts at regular intervals.

André,

Checking the Matrix Tracker modules in your app, I noticed they are later versions than one can find on the Net (from the Stuttgart ftp for example).
Could you make available this apparently rare and last version of the Matrix Tracker you have, and in particular the code to convert from S3M to Matrix format ?
The version I own doesn’t recognise all effects, and I pray you could own one which works 100% ok.
A big thank you in advance.

I put everything I have on Matrix Tracker in an archive:

Thank you André !
