The idea is to redirect programs that use old and obsolete commands for playing CDDA to use cdplayer.library instead. The latest version of cdplayer.library is required for this.
CDDAPatch is implemented as a commodity and DOSDEV tooltype on icon is used to specify which drives should be patched (f.e. I have CD0: and ICD0: patched here). The program has only so far been written and tested with the OS included PlayCD in mind but I will test with some other programs as well and if it works well enough I will eventually make a proper release of it. Edit: Removed the DropBox link to alpha version. The program is now available at this link instead. I've also uploaded it to OS4Depot and Aminet. Edited by salass00 on 2012/7/23 12:42:29

This patch would have been really useful if released before, but i don't know now that PlayCD works fine also on Sam.
Maybe there are other software that can benefit from that ? |

Added support for PLAY AUDIO (10) and PLAY AUDIO (12) commands and also some checking of the starting address before starting to play audio. Download link is the same.

Personally I couldn't care less about PlayCD. I only use it to start with because it's a simple test case that makes use of many commands (play, pause, resume, stop, status). The main reason for this patch is for semi-old Amiga games that use their own routines for playing CDDA tracks. F.e. with the latest version of CDDAPatch the CDDA playback in Exodus demo (Amiga Format CD 48) is working (not much else works though). |

This sounds like a really great patch, and something which might mean I can finally get rid of my old IDE DVD drives (with SATA adaptors). Now I just need to find time to test it |

I only got around to trying it recently, but I can't get it to work on my X1000. PlayCD seems to competely ignore me pressing it's Play button. Quitting the patch allows it to work again. This is a shame, as I was hoping I could replace my aging IDE CD drive (with SATA adapter) with a modern SATA one. |

I think it is supposed to work with PlayCD that comes with OS4.

@ChrisH
salass00 specifically mentions CDPlay in his opening post and later states that he is not concerned about PlayCD working. My opinion is the reverse and PlayCD works fine on my SAM Flex with the builtin SATA ports. However, I have noticed on glitch though; the music stops playing when I activate drop-down menus. |

@xenic:
What version of PlayCD do you have? The original V53.6 had that problem, but it was fixed in V53.7. |

I am using version 53.7 but further investigation revealed that I do not have "Non blocking" selected in Gui Prefs/Menus/Pull-down menus. If I select "Non blocking" then the problem disappears. The strange thing is that Pop-up menus don't have "Non blocking" selected but Pop-up menus don't cause PlayCD to stop playing while the Pop-up menus are activated. |

Were you trying with diskimage.device? If so there was a bug in READ TOC in newer versions when the TIME bit was set in the command (like with SYS:Utilities/PlayCD f.e.). This bug is fixed in the 52.78 version that I just uploaded. AFAIK only the device itself has changed so if you have 52.77 installed from before you only need to update the diskimage.device file in DEVS: and then reboot. |

I was referring to SYS:Utilities/PlayCD of course  . AFAIK there is no CDPlay included with any version of AmigaOS 4.x...Anyway I'm only using PlayCD as a test case because from what I've heard the latest PlayCD beta has a "USEAHI" option to play CDDA over AHI and therefore doesn't need any patching to work with newer drives. |

With CDDAPatch and latest cdplayer.library/diskimage.device CDDA playback seems to be working in TSotTM
. Biggest problem with this game ATM seems to be that the playback doesn't stop when you quit it. I'll have to look into why this is... |

I don't think anyone has bothered to make a blocking pop-up menu implementation. The main reason why intuition menus used to be blocking (and still are depending on your GUI settings) is that intuition has to lock the screen so that it can render the menus directly to the screen bitmap avoiding layers entirely which is also why they are pretty fast even on a slow classic Amiga. |

I've fixed the problem with the playback not stopping. The first "official" release version of CDDAPatch can now be downloaded from here: http://www.a500.org/downloads/audio/cddapatch_7z.readme I've also uploaded this new version to OS4Depot and Aminet. |
