Greetings,
Recently I picked up Peter Gabriel's _Up_ disc. In the fine print on the
outside of the case it says "This is an enhanced CD. Please put it in
your computer."
Of course, the finer print inside says that by "computer" they mean a PC
or a Mac. My linux box won't recognize the executable to play the durn
thing:
That's inexcusable. It's perfectly possible to put information on a CD in
the form of a web site and the music in the form of MP3 files (or ogg,
preferably both so everybody's happy) and let the system decide how to play
tham.
1) Is there a linux utility that can deal with such?
I presume it's got wimdows executables on it. Is WINE any help?
How would I set up a symbolic link in Windows, so
that a call for
the generic CD player brings up, say, musicmatch?
You can associate a progame with a file type (extension)...
Open any folder in windows, select "Folder Option" from the "Views"
menu,
click the "File Types" Tab, create a type for the extension on the file
name, and specify a default action to "Open" files, and other actions (if
you want) which apear on the right-click pop-up menu.
