I am pleased to announce the release of xmcd version 3.0 pl1, an X11/Motif-based CD audio player utility, now with support for the OpenVMS operating system. In its evolution over the past few years, xmcd has established itself as the premier CD player application for the X window system with an attractive, easy-to-use user interface. It is the most feature-rich CD player that runs on OpenVMS as well as most UNIX system variants. The latest release (3.0 patchlevel 1) supports SCSI CD drives on both VAX and Alpha based OpenVMS systems. IDE/ATAPI drives are also supported on Alphas. The remote CD database query feature fully utilizes the Internet and taps on the vast repository of the Gracenote CDDB(tm) Music Recognition Service(sm), which was originally pioneered by xmcd. Xmcd also features "wwwWarp", the ability to remote control a web browser, so that you can search and access many useful web resources and information related to the CD you're listening to. The Local Discography feature lets you organize, browse and play files related to your CD collection. Xmcd literally takes music enjoyment to a level far beyond the standard stereo. There are too many features to list, so visit the xmcd web page for full information, screen snapshot and downloads: http://www.amb.org/xmcd/ Xmcd is FREE, Open Source Software, released under the GNU General Public License. -- \\ // Ti Kan \\/ xmcd - Take the CD player to the nth dimension. //\ Email: xmcd@amb.org // \\ Web site: http://www.amb.org/xmcd/
