Software information: CDPlayer

Overview

CDPlayer is an application for playing audio CDs on older CD-ROM drives fitted with an analogue audio output.

“Bonus binaries”

This is one of a group of applications and modules distributed as Bonus Binaries – software considered unsuitable for inclusion in the standard HardDisc4 image. They are primarily of interest to developers, and are made available on the “half a loaf” principle: the pressing need for software that performs these tasks outweighs the inconvenience of the unfinished and/or anachronistic behaviour of the software itself.

Installation Instructions

CDPlayer can be used as a standalone application. Note that audio playback is only possible if the analogue audio cable from the CD drive is plugged into the computer’s sound system analogue input.

Usage notes

Full usage instructions can be found in the RISC OS 3.7 User Guide.
