I haven't written a CD Player either, but I would think it's not too hard. If you can read the waveform from the CD track file, and send that to the sound card - that seems like that's all you need to do, no? Steve has released SJGPlay as CC0. It's a different programming language, but maybe you can look at his code to implement a similar player in C. _______________________________________________ Freedos-devel mailing list Freedos-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/freedos-devel
