What is Auto-Play?

Auto-Play is a simple way to add a professional Auto-Play feature to the CDs and DVDs that you create. The registered version of AUTO-PLAY supports a personalised 'splash screen' graphic and playing music (Wave or MIDI) while the desired application or document is being loaded.

The Auto-Play Suite includes:

  • The Auto-Play Configuration Utility, a wizard-like tool that helps you configure Auto-Play's features.
  • The Auto-Play Menu Utility, which allows you to easily create an interactive menu for your medium.
  • The Auto-Play Chain Utility, which allows you to "chain" together a series of commands to be exectued by Auto-Play and/or the Auto-Play Menu.
