MUSIC ACT version 1.0 beta 2 (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 live-acts!) on stage. But sometimes it's not possible to
convert OctaMED Sounstudio Songs 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
