New in version 1.08:

· V1.08   SECOND AMINET RELEASE

-  English and Hungarian install scripts included
-  main font redrawn completely
-  Danish and Polish catalogs added (thanks to Philip Marquard and Marcin
   Orlowski)
-  catalog description file included -> various translations are welcome :)

   when it hasn't even closed yet!!!)

   (thanks, Catboy :-)
-  minor bug fixed in OpenGroovyPlayerCatalog() function

-  two Enforcer hits fixed - these would occur when an unknown disc
   is inserted :((
-  multimedia CD bugs fixed (SCSI ERROR was sent sometimes when trying

-  bugfix: process semaphore handling (some race conditions resolved).


Some features:

     ·  Supports standard SCSI-2 and ATAPI drives

     ·  All standard CD player functions including play/pause, skip, search,
        stop, eject and random track access

     ·  Nice front-end that adapts to your screen depth and palette (a la Empy...)

     ·  Track list including name of author, CD title and track titles,
        compatible with MCDPlayer (so you can use your saved list files)

     ·  Double-clicking on a track name in the List window will start playing
        that track

     ·  'Smart List' switch enables the user to program the player from the
        list window, which appears and disappears automagically as discs are
        inserted/ejected

     ·  List window shows the number and length of the track selected/being
        played

     ·  Support for multimedia CD's (compact discs with data track(s) and
        at least one audio track)

     ·  Adjustable volume (256 levels) and balance (left/right 0% to 100%)

     ·  Logarithmic volume option (for smoother and faster control)

     ·  Mute function (3 selectable gain levels)

     ·  Random shuffle

     ·  Repeat mode (repeat all tracks, programmed tracks or tape selection)

     ·  Intro mode (listen to the first x seconds of each track)

     ·  Fade out (immediately or at the end of the intro)

     ·  Program mode (max. 100 tracks; recall button for retrieving finished
        programs)

     ·  Tape mode (selectable/user definable tape length (like C-60 or C-90),
        layout tracks to side A/B of tape)

     ·  Adjustable preferences with various settings

     ·  Informative LCD-like display including current track and index, track
        numbers, titles, several time counters and a status indicator LED
        (play/pause/ffwd/rev)

     ·  Programmed entirely in MC68020 assembly (fast!)
