Hi all,
I've been promising another release of the Sound Chase Multi-Format Music Player for OS-9/NitrOS-9 and Drivewire4 for quite a while now...
Well here it is. (link below)
In this release, I've squashed quite a few bugs and added some requested features such as...
Search - The Search function is fully functional now. You can use up 33 characters to search up to 500 songs for any string you want.
List - The List function allows you to create a "list" of songs by just hitting <ENTER> on any fill to add it to the list and <ENTER> again to remove it. There is a view window to list the selected songs and the order of selections with a few cmd option available there.
Save Default Options - Now you can save your options such as you music dir, midi driver, and sound output. When you load Sound Chaser next time, it automatically loads the settings and you're ready to play. I hope to add the selection list to this in the future.
Independent - Sound Chaser now no longer requires external programs to run other than the various players for the different formats. I've written inline routines for tmode, pwd and dw so Sound Chaser can run with minimal disk activity other than loading the players and the music.
Install - I've now included an installer that will copy all the files from /d0 to /dd for you. Just put the disk in /d0 and type "/d0/install". All the files will be copied to the /dd/cmds directory. If there are any older versions of Sound Chaser present, they will be automatically deleted.
Menus - I redone a lot of the menus now and almost all menus are functional. I think there's only 3 or 4 now that need fixing.
Notes:
PLEASE READ THE DOCS INCLUDED IN THE ZIP!!! There is a standard text file in the zip as well as a "doc" file on the dsk. Instructions for use of all the commands are there.
As usual... please let me know of any complaints, bugs or suggestions
