Using the diskwriter and MP3writer

OPENCP can write all sound output directly to hard disk. Data is written in standard `.wav` format. You can use this feature to burn audio cds from any sound format supported by OPENCP.

Although you can write `.wav` files in every possible sample format you should not alter the default of 44100KHz, 16bit, stereo. You should disable module looping so each module is written once onto harddisk. You can disable looping in the `cp.ini` with the directive `loop=on` in the `[fileselector]` section. You can also change looping temporarily with the fileselector configuration while OPENCP is running. See the fileselector advance usage page for details.

To enable the diskwriter device you can change the `cp.ini` file and select the `devpDisk` as default device by moving it to the start of the `playerdevices` directive in the `[sound]` section. You can also select the `devpDisk` device temporarily by selecting the `@:\DEVICES\DEVPDISK.DEV` device.

Now simply start OPENCPand select a module to play. You will hear no output and notice that the module is played with maximum speed4.13. In the directory where you have started OPENCP(not necessaryly the directory where the module is located) subsequent `.wav` files named `CPOUT000.WAV`, `CPOUT001.WAV` will be created.

To save modules as MP3 files the same steps apply, but you have to select the `devpMPx` device in the `cp.ini` file or use the `@:\DEVICES\DEVPMPX.DEV` special device. Bitrate and CBR/VBR mode can be altered in the `[devpMPx]` section.
