Miles Sound System SDK 7.2a

Q:

How do I loop a track off a CD?

A:

To loop a CD track, you have to do a little more work, because you can't instruct the hardware itself to loop. To handle this, follow these steps:

1) Open the redbook device with AIL_redbook_open.

2) Get the start and stop points with AIL_redbook_track_info.

3) Call AIL_redbook_play to begin playing the track.

4) Subtract the starting and stopping points to calculate the length of the track, and then add a second or two of slop time.

5) Create a timer (system or Miles) for the length of time of the song.

6) Restart the CD track when the timer expires (and reset your timer for the next loop).
