(About the author) |
| | | NEW IMPROVED Player / Recorder.<br><br>
This player / recorder can play and record CD's that have both programs and audio tracks on it, also know as hybrid CD's. It calculates and displays the time for each audio track with an accuracy of + or - 2 seconds. Other CD players I have seen, reads the time for track one is as the total CD time, which of course is not the correct track time.<br><br>
This player has the following abilities:<br>
----------------------------------------<br>
1. Auto detects hybrid CD's.<br>
2. Peek Meter Scope (SoundBlaster Live Only).<br>
3. Plays audio CD's.<br>
4. Change Tracks forward and backwards.<br>
5. Rewind and Forward by 5 seconds.<br>
6. Open the CD door.<br>
7. Close the CD door.<br>
8. Reads and displays the CD's ID number.<br>
9. Reads and displays the total tracks of the CD.<br>
10. Reads and displays the total time of the CD.<br>
11. Records Audio CD's (WAV format).<br>
12. With the proper sound card, you can set the recording audio format (6 k/sec 8 bit mono thru 192 k/sec 16 bit stereo).<br>
13. Displays the correct track time even on hybrid CD's (audio CD's with programs on them).<br>
14. Handles multiple CD ROM drives (IDE or SCSI, or mixed).<br>
15. Auto-play a CD.<br>
16. Repeat Track.<br>
17. Repeat Entire CD.<br>
18. Random Tracks.<br>
19. Select tracks to play.<br>
20. When playing and recording an Audio CD, a graphic of notes shows and dances. Not to the music however.<br>
21. Bug fixes.<br><br>
Read the ReadMe.Txt file for further information.<br>
Credits: Peak Meter code was derived from Rich Cain's Peak Meter sample.<br>

The code on this is great. I have one
complaint though, the interface. It is
very big and bulky, unorganized, and
just ugly. I realized all of your
programs were like this. You need to
make it a lot smaller and try to stick
with the same colors (the colors you
use dont even match each other). Dont
take this feedback the wrong way
,however. I am only trying to help.
Remember, programs are never at their
full potential when the interface is
sloppy.

I think the interface is kind of big,
but the colors are fine. My complaint
is that half of PSC is made up of cd
players, mp3 players, movie players,
there are way to many of them and Im
sick of seeing all of them.

Nick Smith: How many CD players on PSC
read a hybrid CD correctly and allow
you to record tracks?
|
6/14/2000 10:51:53 PM:RJ Soft of West Tennessee
nitrix: How is the interface
unorganized and why do you call it
ugly? If you installed the font the
text should be correct. The program is
designed for 1024 X 768 X 16M colors
but 800X600 looks ok too. The colors
on the buttons do not match for a
reason…each one has a different
function. Your comment ‘when the
interface is sloppy’ is your
opinion. I had a few people sit down
and look at the design and the
functionality of the CD Player/Recorder
and they thought it was great. Also,
if you think it was easy to make this,
think again. Normal CD’s are
easy to get the time for each track.
But hybrid CD’s are another
story. I have seen nothing like what I
did anywhere on PSC or any other VB
site. There may be such a thing on
other sites but I have not found them.
Recording a track the way my recorder
does it also is different. Mine works
with IDE and SCSI drives and it also
handles multiple CD drives too. So, in
conclusion, I do not understand what
the heck you are talking about.

One word: Bravo
Seventy-Six Words: I
like RJ's style of
programming
including iface designing.
It's
something new. If you don't like
it
then you don't understand what
unique
is. This is a well done program
once
again by RJ. After 15 years of
programming, this guy still shows us
how it's done and lets us learn off
of
him. Not that many people like RJ
would
do this especially when he can
be
making money off of this.
Thanks RJ once again,
-Mike

Awww cool! Now I can record the music i
like and MP3 them.
|
6/25/2000 11:31:04 AM:Mike Canejo
Nice job RJ as usual. Even though you
ruined my name I will still continue to
compliment your work.
|
6/25/2000 12:58:56 PM:RJ Soft of West Tennessee
I did not ruine your name. Talk to Max
on that subject.
|
6/26/2000 8:31:36 AM:Mike Canejo
Yeh whatever you say JJ. Anyway, I keep
looking at this project you made and
I'm finding something new everytime so
I decided to give you a Excellent. Good
Job JJ.

7/8/2000 7:51:36 PM:Cozmik X
Nice Job.
And if you don't like the
interface, change it, that's why the
source code is included :)

7/12/2000 1:22:20 PM:zaid farooqui
i wud like to know if it burns cds or
not...
|
7/12/2000 1:29:28 PM:RJ Soft of West Tennessee
The process is: You record the music in
WAV format. You then can use a WAV 2
MP3 converter program to convert the
WAV into a much smaller MP3 file. If
you wish to burn a personal CD then you
have to use the software that came with
your CD-RW Drive.

7/13/2000 3:09:36 AM:fengbald
Nice Job - and I do like the interface
and thanks for sharing this with us!

7/14/2000 10:59:17 AM:SqueakMac
A lttle self confident of waht you
have, and that it's the best on PSC?
Actually, I don't see why every has all
these music and CD players. I mean,
Winamp and Windows Media Player is
fine. And I do think the layout is
kina slopy and big. I think the grey
background with the white text boxes
and black text looks better.
|
7/14/2000 1:51:42 PM:RJ Soft of West Tennessee
WinAmp does not play CDs and neither
does Media Player. They play
MP3s.
How many CD Players can record
tracks? From what I have seen very few
and mine is FREE.
Self confident of
what I have? I take pride in what I
program and design. Its a shame that
some do not, but instead they attempt
to pick at or on others to make their
inadequacies seem smaller… If
you want to call ‘taking pride in
my work’ confident then by all
means use that word.
One should use
“in my opinion” a little
more. Media player might be fine with
you but not for all. Some like a
little different approach to playing
music and want something different.
This is called choice.

your GUI rules

7/23/2000 5:49:45 PM:RJ Soft of West Tennessee
Thank you...

7/28/2000 11:41:34 PM:Aaron
I personally don't see why some of you
guys thinks his layout is sloppy. It
might be that it's not as good as
winamp, but he made this all by
himself, unlike winamp. And atleast he
is trying to have an original look.
|
7/29/2000 12:48:55 AM:Chyld of God
this is trivial really, but i was
wondering what version of winamp you
have. i have version 2.64 and it will
play cd's. you're program is still
great, i just thought i would throw
that bit of trivia in.
|
7/29/2000 12:56:30 AM:RJ Soft of West Tennessee
As I found out WinAmp does play CD's
and can record tracks as well.
Thanks
for the positive comment. If you have
download other programs I have designed
you will notice I use the same style of
screen, CUI (Common User Interface).

8/28/2000 11:28:02 AM:Howard
I haven't downloaded your update yet
but I think your last version was
excellent, I use it all the time and I
love the interface, there was a couple
of small bugs in the last one which no
doubt you have addressed by now. (I
couldn't fix em myself)
I did make one
adjustment to your app and that was to
drop it into the tray instead of it
being on top all the time- much better.
Looking forward to viewing your updated
version.
my vote ~excellent~

Man kickin app man! Sweetness in the
most sweet sense... Anyway... Have
you done anything with like a mixer
that can control bass and treble? I
have found many good one's but none
that work with a soundblaster sound
card so they are practically useless to
me and others... If you have lemmee
know and where I can get a copy because
I really just would like the source
code to look at and use in one of my
own apps... Still excellant job!
|
12/30/2000 10:38:05 AM:steve
great code !! thank you..i am trying to
build an application that can duplicate
and/or mix audio cds and this
helps..thanks again :)
|
1/5/2001 12:51:01 AM:Diretto
I like the interface, and, it seems
like a great program :). (I like unique
interfaces, my old website was...
unique, but ya, this prog is great!)
|
1/6/2001 6:57:39 AM:P. Rosebush
Can't understand the negative
preoccupation with your interface, if
they want Michaelangelo they should
visit a graphics site....anyway
functionality is what matters and the
more the better. Please allow me to
leave this message here that others may
see it too. I am trying to build a wav
recording program that allows the
simultaneous record and playback of a
wav...like Cubase. If you or anyone
else are close to this and would like
to share the info, I would greatly
appreciate it. Keep up the good work.
And shame on the critics of your
GUI.

Sheesh! If you people don't like the
interface, then don't look at it. You
can always copy and paste the code into
an application to your liking. There's
no rule (and RJ is not insistant on it)
saying you MUST use the interface the
author designed. I think it looks cool,
even though my screen is at 800X600, it
still looks good.
|
3/22/2001 12:50:47 PM:ReqtechGeek
Hey guys. Stop knocking this guy over
his interface. I may be new to PSC, but
this so far, has to be one of the most
usfull programs I've seen. Keep up the
good work RJ, and I like your iface
(Reminds me of a Star Trek, LCARS
style).
|
3/23/2001 1:11:57 AM:AnDy2552
Hey. Stop commenting on the
interface.
Just look at the jist of
the program.
That is where the beauty
can be found.
If you don't like the
interface, change it. Or create the
interface to be skinnable and upload it
back to PSC.
We are here to learn
from each other not killing each
other.
|
10/5/2001 7:33:57 AM:Zabadab
Very true what AnDy2552 said, but I've
seen these types of arguments on other
apps too. Now to your App. Looks good,
is great, 5 Globes!
|
7/2/2002 1:14:39 PM:Madman
this is a real nice pieace of work
|
2/12/2003 6:04:59 PM:
I may have overseen something, but
theres no ocx in the zip-file?
