Have you lent an album to a friend but forgot which album or which friend? Would you like to print out a list of all the albums you own for insurance reasons? Then you need Audiofile by Spinfree -- a ZDnet 5-star Editor's Choice award winner. "Who needs Audiofile?" Daniel Buckley (Stereophile Magazine, Tucson Citizen) said, "record store people, radio folks, musicians, music writers, collectors, music-industry folks, and other music freaks. If you've got a computer, Audiofile will help you get the most out of your music collection." Audiofile 4.0 is the richest Audiofile release ever and offers tremendous gains in productivity, speed, and ease of use. Audiofile helps maintain control of music collections, and allows users to input many types of information about each album in their collection including the artist, title, producer, record label, genre, where you bought it, how much you paid for it, location of the album (at home, at work, in your portable, in your car, loaned out), lyrics and cover art. Audiofile 4.0 not only organizes your CDs, but also your tapes, vinyl LPs, minidiscs, and DATs. And, together with the Audiofile Internet Companion, an Audiofile add-on, Audiofile owners can download album data from the Internet (CDDB) so they don't have to manually type it in by hand. This demo version is fully functional with the exception of a 10 album limit and no importing. The demo can be converted into a fully functional release version by purchasing an unlocking code from Spinfree. Instructions are provided with the demo.

The purpose of the Identification Protocol is to identify the user of a particular TCP-IP connection to an Internet server.

Since MacOS is single user, ident-d simply returns the "Owner Name" of the Macintosh as found in the File Sharing control panel. Space and control characters in the owner name will be replaced by underscores ( '_' ) to keep the clients happy. Version 1.0.1 is tuned to use less CPU time, fix "lock-up" bug ident-d is freeware.

The ControlKey XFCN, that came in a separate stack before, is now included in this file. controlKey() returns "down" if the control key is pressed, "up" otherwise. keyIsDown (|-1) returns true if the specified key is pressed. With -1 as key code, the XFCN returns true if at least one key ist pressed, false if no key is pressed. virtualKeyCode () returns a comma delimited list of the virtual key codes of all currently pressed keys. charKeyCode (["m[odifiers]"]) returns the character of the currently pressed key. If "modifiers" is specified, the function returns them too. If command-option-x is pressed, the function returns the string "cmd opt x". flushKeyEvents removes keyDown, keyUp, and autoKey events from the OS event queue.

Resource Extractor is a shareware utility that makes it easy to extract any type and number of resources from any file. Resource Extractor takes those resources, and creates a folder of individual ResEdit files, each containing one of the resources. These are then suitable to drop into a REALbasic project. Developers may also want to collect resources used in their projects, like cursors,icons, or sounds. HyperCard or SuperCard developers may just want to be able to collect resources in folders that make it easy to categorize and organize them. For developers who are working with SuperCard projects, Resource Extractor can also extract resources from the data fork as well as the resource fork. Now some of the fantastic externals developed by SuperCard developers, distributed as SuperCard projects, can be used with other programming environments!
