Check the return code, which should be <SPAN CLASS="RETURNVALUE" >0</SPAN >, to see if there were any errors in starting up.</P ><P >After you have initialized the library, you can find out how many drives are available using the <TT CLASS="FUNCTION" >SDL_CDNumDrives()</TT > function. The first drive listed is the system default CD-ROM drive. After you have chosen a drive, and have opened it with <TT CLASS="FUNCTION" >SDL_CDOpen()</TT >, you can check the status and start playing if there's a CD in the drive.</P ><P >A CD-ROM is organized into one or more tracks, each consisting of a certain number of "frames". Each frame is ~2K in size, and at normal playing speed, a CD plays 75 frames per second. SDL works with the number of frames on a CD, but this can easily be converted to the more familiar minutes/seconds format by using the <TT CLASS="FUNCTION" >FRAMES_TO_MSF()</TT > macro.</P ></DIV ><DIV CLASS="NAVFOOTER" ><HR ALIGN="LEFT" WIDTH="100%"><TABLE SUMMARY="Footer navigation table" WIDTH="100%" BORDER="0" CELLPADDING="0" CELLSPACING="0" ><TR ><TD WIDTH="33%" ALIGN="left" VALIGN="top" ><A HREF="sdlcloseaudio.html" ACCESSKEY="P" >Prev</A ></TD ><TD WIDTH="34%" ALIGN="center" VALIGN="top" ><A HREF="index.html" ACCESSKEY="H" >Home</A ></TD ><TD WIDTH="33%" ALIGN="right" VALIGN="top" ><A HREF="sdlcdnumdrives.html" ACCESSKEY="N" >Next</A ></TD ></TR ><TR ><TD WIDTH="33%" ALIGN="left" VALIGN="top" >SDL_CloseAudio</TD ><TD WIDTH="34%" ALIGN="center" VALIGN="top" ><A HREF="reference.html" ACCESSKEY="U" >Up</A ></TD ><TD WIDTH="33%" ALIGN="right" VALIGN="top" >SDL_CDNumDrives</TD ></TR ></TABLE ></DIV ></BODY ></HTML >
