| 1 | 1. MP3/Ogg multimedia audio-classes 12.05.02
|
|---|
| 2 | --------------------------------------------
|
|---|

|
|---|
| 4 | These classes are for seemless integration of the
|
|---|
| 5 | MMIO procedures for MP3 and OGG files written by
|
|---|
| 6 | Russel O'Connor.
|
|---|
| 7 | Get these procedures from:

|
|---|
| 10 |
|
|---|
| 11 | After installation Ogg- and MP3 files are treated the
|
|---|
| 12 | same way by the WPS as the other audio files. They have
|
|---|
| 13 | their own Icons and the same menus as for example
|
|---|
| 14 | wave files. A doubleclick starts playback another one
|
|---|
| 15 | stops it. The convert menu item helps you decoding the
|
|---|
| 16 | file to wave without any other program.
|
|---|
| 17 |
|
|---|
| 18 | The settings notebook of every audio file gets a new
|
|---|
| 19 | page added describing the audio characteristics like
|
|---|
| 20 | playtime or samplerate. This data is also shown in the
|
|---|
| 21 | details view of folders if set to class:CWAudio.
|
|---|
| 22 |
|
|---|
| 23 | There's also a new open-item for volume.
|
|---|
| 24 |
|
|---|
| 25 | You may view and change the ID3 tags of MP3 files
|
|---|
| 26 | using the settings notebook. These tags are also shown
|
|---|
| 27 | in the details view.

| 30 | 2. Media-Folder and Audio-Shadow 13.03.02
|
|---|
| 31 | -----------------------------------------
|
|---|
| 32 |
|
|---|
| 33 | The Media-Folder serves as a player for any
|
|---|
| 34 | audio file known by OS/2. The usual play
|
|---|
| 35 | controls are available and you may create
|
|---|
| 36 | playlists just by dropping files into the folder.
|
|---|
| 37 |
|
|---|
| 38 | Audio files will not be put into the folder directly
|
|---|
| 39 | but shadows are created.
|
|---|
| 40 | A new shadow class shows you details information
|
|---|
| 41 | for the linked audio files in the details view of a
|
|---|
| 42 | Media-Folder. A REXX interface is available if
|
|---|
| 43 | WPS-wizard V0.2.0 or above is installed.
|
|---|
| 44 |
|
|---|
| 45 | A WPS enabled CD player with FreeDB support is included.
|
|---|
| 46 |
|
|---|
| 47 | Installation
|
|---|
| 48 | ------------
|
|---|
| 49 |
|
|---|
| 50 | Put the contents of the archive into a directory and run
|
|---|
| 51 | install.exe which will copy the files and register the
|
|---|
| 52 | new classes.
|
|---|
| 53 |
|
|---|
| 54 | DON'T START *install.INS* TO MAKE SURE THE RIGHT INSTALLER
|
|---|
| 55 | IS USED IN CASE YOU HAVE AN OLDER VERSION ALREADY INSTALLED!
|
|---|
| 56 |
|
|---|
| 57 | You have to restart the WPS so the changes can take effect.
|
|---|
| 58 |
|
|---|
| 59 | Open the multimedia settings notebook and add the types MP3
|
|---|
| 60 | and OGGS to digital audio if the menus do not work as expected.
|
|---|
| 61 | It may be necessary to also add associations to *.MP3 and
|
|---|
| 62 | *.OGG files.
|
|---|
| 63 |
|
|---|
| 64 | The command file setFolder.cmd sets the details and sort class of
|
|---|
| 65 | a folder to CWAudio so the new information is shown in the details
|
|---|
| 66 | view and the sort menu contains the new items. Just drop the folder
|
|---|
| 67 | in question on the script.
|
|---|
| 68 |
|
|---|
| 69 | The command file setShadow.cmd sets the details and sort class of
|
|---|
| 70 | a folder to CWAudioShadow so the new information is shown in the details
|
|---|
| 71 | view and the sort menu contains the new items when using the new
|
|---|
| 72 | Audio-shadows automatically created when dropping audio files on a
|
|---|
| 73 | Media-Folder. Just drop the folder in question on the script.
|
|---|
| 74 |
|
|---|
| 75 |
|
|---|
| 76 | Uninstallation
|
|---|
| 77 | --------------
|
|---|
| 78 |
|
|---|
| 79 | Use the uninstall feature of the generic installer.
|
|---|
| 80 |
|
|---|
| 81 | Known problems
|
|---|
| 82 | --------------
|
|---|
| 83 |
|
|---|
| 84 | The playtime may be not correct for some VBR-MP3s. This is a problem
|
|---|
| 85 | of the MMIOMP3-Proc not the classes.
