CD Changer v1.1										1998 Nemesis Productions

Description

------------



	Sony MegaCD Changer Remote! 



    Select from a list of your CDs and tell your Sony Changer to play it.

    CD Lists can be easily imported in Newton Book format. 



    Also - automatically name your CDs from your Newton. CD Changer

    1.1 will "type" in the names of your CDs for you. (Only if you CD Changer

    supports it)



	This is sort of "funware" for me.  I wrote it for myself, but figured other people would find it useful.  But as a result, I don't have that much documentation written.  Email me if you need help.

Naming CDs

----------



	NOTE: When NAMING CDs, your CD player must be playing/at the CD you want

	to name.  In the Name window, you'll be able to "Go To Disc #XX".  Do this,

	wait until the disc loads, THEN hit "Name Current CD".



"Truncate To Space" just truncates your CD Name to the 1st space.  Just to

    make naming your CDs easier.



	For Example:

		"11. Arnold's CD"   ---truncates to-->  "Arnold's CD"



"->" erase's the leading character of the Name.



"Name Current CD" does what it says.





Files

-----

     

CDChanger.pkg

	The program itself.

MyCDList.pkg

	This is a NewtonBook of MY CDs.  Just as an example.  If you install this

	book, the first time CDChanger runs, it'll build a list of CDs from this

	book. CDChanger saves it's own copy for itself, so you can then delete the

	NewtonBook after you run the program once.

  

How To Import Your CDs

----------------------



	First, you need a COMMA DELIMINATED TEXT FILE of all your

	CDs. You MUST have entries for EMPTY slots (no CD in

	changer). (Click here for an example of my comma deliminated CD

	List) 



	For Example (a list of 3 cds): 



	1. CDNameX, 2., 3. CDNameY 



	Then, you must create a Newton Book and MAKE SURE YOU

	SET THE LONG NAME TO "MyCDList" (case insensitive).



	When you first run CD Changer 1.0 it will build your CD list and save

	it. After this, you may delete the Newton Book pkg. 



	Don't own NewtonPress? If you send your TXT file of CDs (in the

	proper format), I'll generate a NewtonBook for you. 







Requirements 

------------



	So far, this has only been tested on the Sony CX255 and CX250. It will

	likely work with the 100 disc changer (CX205, I think). Email me if it

	does or doesn't. Also - this has been formatted and written for

	PORTRAIT orientation on the MP2x00. It will not fit on the 130, 120,

	or eMate (in landscape orientation). Sorry... this is just the first 	

	release and I just wanted to get it working. If you have interest in

	running this on other hardware, email me. 





Cost 

----



	FREE.



	Of course, I'd love an email if you do find this useful. It helps me

	know that my efforts have not gone to waste. 



	And, of course, donations always welcome, and be sure to check out

	Scrawl's page (http://www.scrawlsoft.com) (who helped make this 

	possible).
