| | 1 | == CW-Multimedia classes V0.2.7b released == |
| | 2 | |
| | 3 | This package is a complete replacement for the multimedia classes coming with MMOS2. The included classes are more robust and have an extended feature set like displaying image information in the settings notebook and the details view. A new JPEG IO-procedure overcomes limitations of the default JPEG procedure coming with the multimedia subsystem. |

| | 5 | The additional audio classes integrate the MMIO procedures for MP3, FLAC and OGG files written by Russel O'Connor http://www.math.berkeley.edu/~roconnor/ seamlessly into the WPS. After installation Ogg-, FLAC- and MP3 files are treated the same way by the WPS as the other audio files. They have their own Icons and the same menus as for example wave files. A doubleclick starts playback another one stops it. The convert menu item helps you converting audio files to Wave, Ogg or FLAC without any other program. There's also a new open-item for volume. |

| | 7 | The media folder is a new WPS-class which plays any audio class known to OS/2. Drop shadows in the folder to build a playlist and play it using the usual play controls. By using shadows you may move your MP3 files without breaking the playlist contents. Try this with your favorite audio player. |
