I've used this information to power an AT motherboard off of sealed lead acid batteries but I'm sure ATX is just as easy.  I used a capacitor to delay the rise time of the Power Good signal relative to the others so it was actually consistent, otherwise it refused to POST.  I found this forum by searching for something totally unrelated too hehe.

Software Discussion / MPXT
Last post by matthias - April 10, 2006, 01:02:37 PM
Hi Brent,

I´m still alive, but have been a little busy.
But things are going forward, so version 2 of my Mp3 player will be ready in a few weeks.
V 2 will have plug and play support for tcp/ip network (pci) and plug and play support for ext. usb harddisks. Means just put in a pci network card and V2 will build the entire tcp/ip netowrk connection inkl. dos server function.
MPXPLAY fastlist and MPXT m3u support are included and many features more.
Any one out there who want´s to be beta tester :-)?

Software Discussion / ID3 Tag support
Last post by admin - April 09, 2006, 10:04:55 PM
VCC doesn't support ID3 tags, but MPXPlay does.  The TSR program doesn't touch the music files, it just reads what MPXPlay has on the screen and uses that.  In theory, track naming should still work.

One place where you would have trouble, though, is in the vcc.exe program.  It expects to find a file called discinfo.txt, in each album directory.  It reads the file to get its album naming information.

Bottom line: Feel free to try it out, but keep in mind that I haven't tested in that configuration.

I guess that if you have a spare ISA or PCI slot, getting a new sound card will be the easier solution

Software Discussion / ID3 Tag support
Last post by Luca - April 09, 2006, 03:18:07 AM
Hi all, I'm planning to build an home MP3 player based on MPXPLAY and i find VCC on the web.
Is there any plan to add ID3 tag support?
My player will get music from another computer (I have an home media server with music, photos, films, etc.). As this server will be accessed even by other computer I'd like to keep music files with long filename instead of name like Track1.mp3...)
regards
Luca

I dug around a bit, but I couldn't find any DOS driver for that card, either.  The only thing I can suggest is to try running MPXPlay with the -sct command switch, and hope that it is able to recognise the card.

If that fails you could try asking MPXPlay's author to add CS4299 support to MPXPlay.  The chances aren't good, though, unless he owns a motherboard (or soundcard) that has this particular chip.  Doesn't hurt to ask, though.

Im looking for a DOS sound driver and have spent days googling around without any joy and pulling my hair out. Thought maybe someone here might have one sitting on a dusty floppy somewhere.
Chip on the board is a CS4299-JQ.
(Cirrus Logic Crystal)
Its for an HP e-vectra mini pc.
Its a very cool small system and perfect for a portable jukebox or car jukebox or both.
Ive got DOS 7.10 installed fine and everything works except sound so obviously mpxplay plays but without sound, arghhhh.
I tried all the drivers (which wernt many) in the DOS 7.10 install process but none of them work.
Surely it is soundblaster pro compatiable or something?
Ive come to a dead end, and have serious insomnia as i dont give up easily, lol.

You could try Opus Solutions.  A number of mp3car.com forum members are using these:

Hello http://techworld.dyndns.org/discus/clipart/happy.gif" ALT=":-)" BORDER=0> :-D

Does anybody know a power supply to be used for PC that uses DC-DC converter as a substitute? I don't want to use an inverter. Any ideas on this?
