What is it?
I'm sure you know what a CD player is, this one is better, in fact, it classifies as a
CD player browser that I did as a practical assignment
for the subject "Multimedia Programming for Windows". I made it fancy with bitmaps and stuff, even though that wasn't required.

How it works
The application is written entirely utilising Windows MCI (Media Control Interface), control of the CD player
is done via MCI calls. Why MCI? Because it is a generic interface, you don't have to write function calls for
every CDROM on the planet, you just use MCI for device independence. Anyway, MCI function calls are used to control
the playing/stoppping/and general control of the CD player, as well as obtaining of track and cd information.
This program is written in C++ unlike the hackers or audio connection application. If you like this application try out
my wave editor. It's a full fledged wave editor, and better!
How it was implemented
Software used:
- Visual C++
- Adobe Photoshop 5.0
- Windows 9X/NT
Coding was done in Visual C++, bitmaps in photoshop, testing was done on the school's Win NT machine as well as my home 9x machine.
