Short : exec CLI-players / playlist Author : IP-AMK@t-online.de (Alexander M. Korn) Uploader: IP-AMK@t-online.de (Alexander M. Korn) Type : mus/misc Version : 1.0b kornSOFTWORKS presents: MUSIC ACT version 1.0 beta (unregistred) Music Act is a simple tool to play a list of different song-files in maybe different song-formats by executing selectable cli-players for songs-formats directly. In fact, so you can play OctaMED-midi-songs and SMF (Standart Midi Files) etc. in a various series. The only requirement is, that you have a CLI-player (OctaMEDPlayer, MidiPlay etc.) for your song-formats. It's possible to use 4 different players and so 4 different song-formats. Music Act works like an remote control for your players. You must edit the default start-command-line for a player and the stop-command-line. Music Act executes the choosen player and add the song-file in the start-command-line, and stops the song by execute your player with the edited stop-command-line. I wrote this tool to play my songs (I'm a musician and writing public music and some times i make a live-act!) on stage. But sometimes it's not possible to convert OctaMED Sounstudio 100% in SMF (Standart Midi Files), so that i can't use only one player with it's playlist-feature (like MidiPlay) for my live-music-program. I'want to play differnt formats in a user-friendly style, with the feature that i can start and stop songs simply by pressing RETURN or a gadget. Maybe you need this special features and you can use this tool with your music. Have fun, Alexander M. Korn
