Playing CD and DVD Through the Digi 001

[Jeff Zacharias]

Apple's CD Player and DVD player (pre 2.0) do not play sound through the sound manager so you can't get sound out the Digi 001.

To play CDs through your Digi 001 you will need to use SoundJam MP (http://www.soundjam.com) or Retro CD (http://www.hitsquad.com/smm/programs/RETRO_CD_macppc).

To play DVDs through the Digi 001 you can use Apple's DVD player version 2.0 or higher. However, the installer will only install this version on a G4 computer, not a G3 B&W like I have. I found a site where you can download Apple's DVD player that they must have modified to allow it to work on all G3 computers. I downloaded it and installed on my B&W G3 and I now get DVD sound through my Digi 001. You can find the Apple DVD Player 2.2 CodeFree Installer (PowerPC Macs with DVD and ATI Rage 128) at http://members.xoom.com/codefreedvd/...player2.2.sit. There is also a Region Patch for older G3s without ATI Rage which are incompatible with Apple DVD Player 2.2 -300 Kb at http://members.xoom.com/codefreedvd/RegionPatch.sit
