I've been working on 2 programs

1. A Media Library, it is designed for a 700MB cd, you use the 2nd program i made, and add upto 12 albums, their tracks and album cover.
Then you can burn all the music and this program to a cd (comes with autorun file) and play them back off a cd, with a nice (kind-of) gui.
You can click the album covers to change album, it automatically goes to the next album at the end of each album. (one bug i thought of when writing this is on the last album it doesn't loop back to the first album, hehe)


I was going for a sort of original idea, dunno if i found an original idea, but its kept me occupied.

It reads all the library information from an INI file made with the 2nd program.



2. The library creating program, it's pretty simple, you put all the album folders (with tracks inside) in ':\Music' (normally C:\Music) start this program up, type in the name of the Media Library Application
(this is useful, because the media library, when you close it, it stores info in the registry saying what song and album you were on, but if you make multiple cds, it would get mixed up, so it stores it as AppName;AlbumNumber;TrackNumber)

and then press add new album and it asks you to type in the Album name (you have to type it exactly as the folder is named), then it asks you to pinpoint the image, and then you type the name of the tracks for that album etc.

Then you can save the project, or generate the autorun file and INI file.

Anyway, i wont post the program links just yet, as i have thought of bugs that need fixing.

Maybe i will make a DVD version of this program, where you can put more than 12 albums, i dont know yet.

Can i have some feedback please?

Also, can anyone suggest an application name?

Sorry for so much text

sounds really cooland for a name...um...My Media Player?
PST!, look at my question in my thread!

Just made a program, where you select the album folders you want, and the images and it will go through the folders and get songnames, from filenames, providing the filenames are named in this format

Track Title.mp3

example

01 Example.mp3

then it will save the project file for you, and then you open up the 2nd program (mentioned above) and load the project, tehn generate the files, will release the programs soon

EDIT : Here they are to try, instructions included

Bug:

When trying to save a file and the pressing cancel instead of Save (StartCD program) it crashes... maybe you should check that

Also, reading from ID3 tags could be useful!

Thanks for that, i'll work on it. maybe when i have some time, i'll rewrite the code, so its not sloppy, and maybe do it a more efficent way.
