Compact Disc Player (2024R1) - Released!

** Hot News **

New version of the PowerBuilder CD player released!

Built from the STD Integrated framework!  

    Software Tool & Die Inc.are please to announce the release of an updated Compact Disc Player (version 2024.1.60) application all written in PowerBuilder 2022R3 - build 3356! This application demonstrates the power of using the STD Integrated Framework plus the all the Unicode based MCI (Multimedia Command Interface) API's now residing in the base classes. The updated application can be deployed as either a Win32 / Win64  native application or a PowerClient application and allows the user to control music from any CD/DVD player attached to their PC.

    The amazing changes to this release were the refactoring of the previous code to dovetail into the latest STD Integrated Framework for PB release 2022 R3! New features include: a) can now reside in the O/S's System Tray; b) can be compiled for the first time into a 64 bit EXE; c) can be compiled into either a 32 or 64 bit  application; W11 ready and; d) New Theme ready!

 

     Not only is this a "kool" application to run - it demonstrates important low-level control of the O/S that you can easily achieve using the framework's extensive external API's and support for PB 2022 R3's latest features. When you add the STD framework to the PB development mix - a whole new horizon of application possibilities emerges!   

 

    If you would like to enjoy the Native M-Code or P-Code versions of the above CD Player application, please visit the SourceForge website download the CD Player from this link. Note that all the applications and the framework itself  in the SourceForge project are free & open source!

 
To commemorate the release of the various Star Wars movies, the CD Player has been enhanced with various sound effects that salute this great story-line & movie franchise. I hope that you enjoy the updated Star-wars CD Player edition!
