Installing Good Shepherd CD Software

To generate a CD for a Good Shepherd service, you need to install:

1. a program to split MP3 files

2. a CD burning program

A Program to Split MP3 files

The command line program mp3split can be installed by following these steps:

1. Download and install the IndigoPerl zip file
   1. Unzip the file into a new folder called c:\Program Files\indigoperl.
   2. Execute c:\Program Files\indigoperl\setup.bat.
   3. Reboot your machine.
   4. Execute the Services console by using Start g Run g  services.msc
   5. Find the service named Apache2, right click and choose Properties, and change the Startup Type to Manual.

2. Install the file Frame.pm in the folder c:\Program Files\indigoperl\perl\lib\MPEG\Audio. (You'll need to create the folder.)

3. Install the files Info.pm and Splitter.pm in the folder c:\Program Files\indigoperl\perl\lib\MP3.  (You'll need to create the folder.)

4. Install the files mp3split.bat and mp3split.pl in the folder c:\Program Files\indigoperl\perl\bin. (The filenames will appear as mp3split-bat.txt and mp3split-pl.txt. Be sure to change the names appropriately as you're saving the files.) Use notepad to open mp3split.bat and change c:\service to the appropriate folder name.

5. Optionally, you can create a shortcut to mp3split.bat and place it on your desktop (or wherever). Set its startup folder to be the folder you'll normally be working in.

CD Burning Program

Any CD burning program may be used, as long as it allows you to set the inter-track gap to 0 seconds.
