Subject: [*] TitleTrack CD Player 2.2 68K


The TitleTrack CD Player v2.2 from RiverSong InterActive provides the
ultimate way to play music CDs in your Mac's CD-ROM drive. Just insert a

CD in the drive, and TitleTrack automatically connects to the CDDB, an
online database containing information on hundreds of thousands of CD
titles, and downloads information (including disc title, artist and
complete songlist) on the CD. Just click on a line of the songlist to
begin play. TitleTrack CD Player includes all the standard audio control

features (play, pause, stop, fast forward, rewind, eject, etc.), plus
you can create custom play orders for each CD; drag and drop CD Cover
art into the display; enter detailed information (including guest
artists, engineer, producer, label, user rating, year and more) for each

CD; automatically link to Web pages relevant to the particular CD; and
much, much more!

Not only does TitleTrack CD Player provide a great way to listen to your

music, but it also is a great way to catalog your entire CD collection.
The program's "Catalog" window allows you to view, edit and organize all

your CDs. You can easily create and print reports on your collection,
and even export the CD information into other database programs such as
FileMaker Pro. (On the TitleTrack Web site you can download FileMaker
templates designed by other users for use with TitleTrack, or upload
your own custom FileMaker template).

The TitleTrack CD Player was chosen by CNET Central as a "Cool Tool of
the Week" (and featured on its nationally syndicated television show);
has been ranked the number one download in the Home and Personal
category on the download.com Web Site (where it is a staff "pick" and
remains one of the most popular titles); received four Cows on the
Tucows Interactive Web Site; and has been called by satisfied users the
"greatest thing since sliced bread" and one of the best innovations
"since the wheel."

Among the various improvements and enhancements, version 2.2 of
TitleTrack CD Player adds a command for importing an entire folder's
worth of CD cover art into a user's CD database. This version also is
compatible with all the newer CD drives found in many iMacs, iBooks
and G4s. A minor bug that sometimes prevented custom orders from
working has now been fixed.

Why would you just encrypt the compressed files using Stuffit Delux or 
get something like Installer Maker etc. Try aladdin's web site.

<http://www.aladdinsys.com/downloads/>  

and download a free trial.

Subject: Info-Mac Digest V17 #26

Allan Hunter <ahunter3@earthlink.net> asked under the Subject: Uh oh, 
dead battery! what to use for a PRAM battery replacement in his 7100.

According to GURU from NewerRam, the 7100/66 uses a 3.6v lithium 
battery, Maxell ER3S or Radio Shack 23-026

If you acquire the freeware Akua Sweets Scripting Additions, there is 
an included set of applets called SharePrint that does just that. I 
found it a bit tricky to set up, but the price is right. :-)

My Spousal Unit runs an iBook with an attached Epson 740, which she 
shares with two other Macs through a mish-mosh 
AirPort/EtherNet/LocalTalk network.

There is also a Shareware product called EpsonShare, that I've looked 
at but not installed. It seemed a bit 'pricey' for the benefit we 
might derive from it.
