What is it
Hustler is a simple audio CD player for BeOS R4 or higher that runs inside the Deskbar. You might miss a feature or two, though, because I just wrote this for the fun of it... not to create the best CD player ever.

How to install it
Double-click the Installer icon to launch the installation program. The Installer will automatically put Hustler in the "/boot/home/config/bin/" folder and modify your boot script to launch Hustler every time you start your computer.

How to get rid of it
Double-click the Uninstaller icon to launch the uninstallation program. The Uninstaller will automatically remove Hustler from your system and your boot script.

Known Problems
Because of problems with the CD driver that ships with the BeOS, I have not been able to implement some features, such as stopping a CD or skipping through tracks.

My second CD-ROM drive didn't make any sound when it was playing a CD. I suspect that the CD driver is the guilty party here too.

It may take a few seconds for Hustler to recognize a CD that contains a data track if you have enabled automatic disk mounting in the BeOS Disk Mount Settings menu.

Legal Stuff
Hustler is public domain, so you may do anything you like with it. No warranties expressed or implied. I am not responsible for whatever may happen to whomever, whenever.

This program contains software components developed by Peter Urbanec and Be, Inc. The Installer and Uninstaller are based on a script originally written by Tyler Riti. Thanks guys!
