Software Description:
MD Titler is a unique piece of Palm Organiser software which allows you to title
Minidiscs quickly and easily without having to use your Minidisc remote control.
The software works with most Sony Minidisc decks which have an infrared remote control.
The software has been tested with a Palm III,Palm IIIc,Palm M100 and a Palm V.
With a Palm III device please ensure you point the device slightly upwards as the
infrared beam on this device is not aimed directly out of the front of the device.
Although the Palm software can be used on its own, When used in
conjuction with the PC utility it turns into a powerful Minidisc labeller,
with the facility to automatically retrieve track and title information from your CD's
using the the CDDB2 Disc Recognition ServiceSM (DRS) from CDDB
The purpose of the PC Utility is to create the Minidisc track lists,
Each track list contains all the track names for one Minidisc.
These lists are then transferred to your Palm Organiser ready to title your Minidiscs.
Full instructions for using the PC Utility can be found within the application itself.
Please note to run the PC utility you must have a PC and be running Windows 95/98
or NT in a resolution of 800x600 or greater.
