Binkie Posted August 9, 2001 Share Posted August 9, 2001 Ack! I am tired of forgetting the tape player in my son's room and then he goes to bed and I have to plot all my moves to silence instead of Ravel and Liszt. I could sure go for some CD- or MP3-of-choice support in CMBB. Thanks for listening! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soddball Posted August 9, 2001 Share Posted August 9, 2001 Why don't you just run Winamp aswell as CMBO? It works fine for me. I found it's a perfect solution, and it doesn't affect speed for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jKMkIII Posted August 9, 2001 Share Posted August 9, 2001 And I think CM only checks for CD when you start the game. At least I have taken CD out of computer and didn't notice any problems (my work computers CD drive makes some strange noice..) And like Soddball said, just run Winamp or other MP3, or CD player, software on back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruno Weiss Posted August 9, 2001 Share Posted August 9, 2001 Hmm, well look at it this way. At least the kid won't grow up shell shocked from sleeping to rocket fire and machine guns in his dreams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Panzer_Meyer Posted August 9, 2001 Share Posted August 9, 2001 All you do is: After the game starts up, you can take the CD out, no problem. It only checks for it at the start. You can also play backround music (like I do) with WINAMP or any other music player. Works fine for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WWB Posted August 9, 2001 Share Posted August 9, 2001 Also, you can rip tracks from CDs to your hard drive relatively painlessly, and compile a playlist, then run WinAMP off that. WWB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirill S. Posted August 9, 2001 Share Posted August 9, 2001 I dunno about WinME, but only Win2k supports several simultaneous sounds playing from HD, I use winamp fine in all games but in Win98 I have to choose between CD or silence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Herr Oberst Posted August 9, 2001 Share Posted August 9, 2001 For a real mood setting listening experience, try ordering this set, ripping it to MP3 on your PC, and playing it while CM goes on.

lcm1947 Posted August 10, 2001 Share Posted August 10, 2001 Music?, Music? You want to hear music when you're killing and blowing stuff up? What is this world coming to? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Binkie Posted August 13, 2001 Author Share Posted August 13, 2001 Actually, certain classical and opera go very nicely with the shelling and the MGs, thank you very much. How do I know this? Because if I start a music source before launching the CM Movie Utility, I get shared sound and can listen to both. But with my Win 98 SE, as noted by Kirill above, the regular game takes over all sound channels. Whether I start it before or after launching CM. Perhaps all these other happy posters here are running NT or 2K. Oh well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
