CD Changer 1.1 Last Update: 02/04/98

Now Newton users can use their MP to instruct their Sony CD Changer which tracks to play. To import your CD list into CD Changer, simply make a comma delimited text file of all the CDs, including entries for empty CD slots. When making a Newton Book file of the names, be sure to specify the long name "MyCDList". On first run, CD Changer 1.1 will build your CD list and save it. After this, you may delete the Newton Book pkg. If you don't own NewtonPress to make the Newton Book, the author is willing to generate one for you!The author credits Sanjay Vakil of Scrawl, LLC. with the core IR for the product.

SonyMeeting Last Update: 02/12/98

SonyMeeting is an autopart that adds a new meeting type to the calendar of your Newton. A Sony meeting very much resembles a traditional meeting, but carries additional information about the TV channel and can be routed to your Sony VCR via IR. Your VCR should then be programmed for a recording at the selected time and channel.  With this release, SonyMeeting has outlived it's name - it also supports Philips now.  Recent additions were Long Play and alternate inputs (Line 1 and Line 2), also proper landscape support.  I was even able to verify it works on an MP2k SonyMeeting will only work on OS 2.0 and for some Sony and some Philips VCRs. I have tested it on a Sony SLV-E7 and on a Philips VCR whose name escapes me. SonyMeeting is not a general purpose remote control. For this purpose, I recommend ShowMate which is scriptable and has some nice other features. Credit:  Lars Immisch.
