Why should I use ChartPlayer MPEG?
- No More CDs: ChartPlayer MPEG allows you to place the ChartPlayer Listening Program along with all of your digital sound files on your computer. This means that you will never have to use your CDs again! No more forgetting which CD you need to bring to class with you or waiting for a CD to be recognized by the computer!
- Instantaneous Chart Playback: Because ChartPlayer MPEG uses digital files stored on your computer hard drive, the playback of musical examples is instantaneous!
- Create Customized Charts: Using the ChartCreator MPEG functionality in ChartPlayer, you can create customized charts, choosing either to alter the charts that come with the ChartPlayer module or creating your own charts from scratch!
- For example, I have a set of ChartPlayer files for each movement of Symphony no. 40 and Symphony no. 5 that I use in the lecture. I have created them from digital files from my own personal CDs.
How hard is this to do?
- Configuring ChartPlayer MPEG is not hard! The entire process should take between an hour and two hours. Most of this time will be spent importing the sound files.
