Playing Audio CDs with cdplayer

cdplayer

CD-ROM audio play utility for DOS, provides full audio support

for

 

music CDs through either the keyboard or a mouse interface.  In order

to use c

dplayer,  

you must configure your DOS environment to run with

the Microsoft CD-ROM Extensions 

(mscdex) 

and you must install a CD-

ROM   driver,   such   as  

aspicd

  (The   DOS/WINDOWS   DRIVERS  

install

program takes care of this automatically.)

Here is a list of 

cdplayer's 

audio functions:

·

Play, Pause, Eject, and Stop

·

Fast Forward and Reverse

·

Next Track and Previous Track Selections

·

Time Display, showing Elapsed Time or Remaining Time for either

·

Sequential or Shuffled Continuous play ordering

cdplayer

 requires a VGA (or higher) graphics controller and either a color

or a monochrome display.  The program consists of two files which are
automatically copied to your fixed disk when you run the DOS/WINDOWS
