System Tray Hints - the hints shown when the mouse hovers over the SysTray icon have been changed to be capable of showing more information and also to be active. So now all of the possible values (Artist, Title, Track, and Time) can be shown at the same time, plus the time will actively update, if you keep the mouse over the icon.
Alarm function added - This allows you to set CDmax to start playing at a preset time, so it could be used as an alarm clock if desired. Additionally, a "sleep" mode can be set to cause CDmax to stop playing at a preset time. And also, during a sleep cycle you can request various Windows shutdown options. So you can have CDmax shutdown your computer when it stops playing.
Restart option added - if CDmax is running when Windows is shutdown, you can optionally have CDmax restart when Windows comes back up.
support for multimedia keyboards added - CDmax now works with keyboards (like MS Internet Pro) containing special keys for Play/Pause, Stop, Prev Track, Next Track
