Re: Barebones 'CD player' application
said by dvd536  :said by Vchat20 :The only problem with that is the facility in Win2K's cd player no longer works for looking up the cd info online which is the one feature I am sorely missing at this point. you *could* just go into the registry and edit the sites that win2k's cdplayer uses to go out and get its info[backup registry first though] I'll have to look into that option. I remember trying before and it never really 100% worked like I expected for some reason. But always worth a second shot.
As it stands, Win2K's cd player does everything I want AND is low resource at that. So if I can get it to pulling cd data again online, I'd be golden.
I know I really have other multi-purpose apps to do this like foobar, windows media player, audiograbber, winamp, etc.. Sometimes though I have a need to have something that will literally hide in the background in terms of resource usage (cpu usage is nil thanks to the cd-rom DAC doing the audio, mem usage should also be minimal for the same reason.). For mp3's and other audio files, yes, I have winamp. But I'm not completely rid of cd's yet. I still have a car cd player to cater to.

I swear, some people should have pace-makers installed to free up the resources. Breathing and heart beat taxes their whole system, all of their brain cells wasted on life support.-two bit brains, and the second bit is wasted on parity! ~head_spaz |
