=================================
 Auto MP3CD Version 1.0
=================================
 (c) 1998, LS-Software
=================================

This program allows Windows 9x/NT systems to automatically play MP3 recorded CDs.

Just have to copy 3 additional files to the root directory of the CD-ROM.

Note: This program will do nothing if executed by itself.

How to make your MP3 CD Automatically play?
===========================================

1. You would need a MP3 supported player that supports *.m3u playlist install 
   on the system you wish to play the CD on.
   (eg. Winamp), RAMPlayer 2.0b2 does not support this feature.

2. Usually when you create your CD, you create a temp. directory so that you
   place all the files you wish to copy to the CD.

3. Create a playlist of the MP3 files in that directory (the MP3s you wish to 
   copy to the CD ROM).

4. Save the playlist in the root of your temp directory and call it "cdmp3.m3u" 
   (without quotes).

5. Copy the following 2 files to the temp directory:
       AutoMP3.exe
       Autorun.inf

6. Start to burn/create your CD.

We are going to create an example, just in case you didn't understand what we are 
trying to explain.

1. We created a directory on our C drive. C:\TEMPCD
2. We created a subdirectory in C:\TEMPCD called MP3s. C:\TEMPCD\MP3s
3. We copied 3 MP3s into the directory C:\TEMPCD\MP3s
    "My heart will go on.mp3", "Candle in the wind.mp3", "Oh Canada.mp3"
4. We used xxxxxx MP3 playlist to create a .m3u playlist and saved it in C:\TEMPCD
   and it was called "cdmp3.m3u". (C:\TEMPCD\cdmp3.m3u)

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Aside: If you open the cdmp3.m3u with Notepad, it should look it the following.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
MP3s\My heart will go on.mp3
MP3s\Candle in the wind.mp3
MP3s\Oh Canada.mp3
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

5. We copied the 2 files "AutoMP3.exe" & "Autorun.inf" into the C:\TEMPCD directory.
   
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Aside: This is what you should have in the directories.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
C -- C:\TEMPCD
      |---- cdmp3.m3u
      |---- AutoMP3.exe
      +---- Autorun.inf
      dir-- MP3s
             |-------My heart will go on.mp3       
             |-------Candle in the wind.mp3
             +-------Oh Canada.mp3

6. Now you can burn/create your CD, where your CD's Root directory would be taken
   from C:\TEMPCD

7. Result CD would be like the following.
   (Assume E is your CD ROM)
E
|---- cdmp3.m3u
|---- AutoMP3.exe
+---- Autorun.inf
dir-- MP3s
       |-------My heart will go on.mp3       
       |-------Candle in the wind.mp3
       +-------Oh Canada.mp3

Note: You can make your own layout. But the 3 files (cdmp3.m3u, AutoMP3.exe & Autorun.inf)
must be stored on the root directory of the CD.
