It +includes a basic command set for controlling the operation of the +CD-ROM drive as well as functions for accessing both the CDDB, CD +Index, and Cover Art Index. + + It is recommened that all programs wishing to specifically use CDDB +data use the FreeDB at "http://www.freedb.org/", which works well with +libcdaudio. + + The CD Index ("http://www.cdindex.org/") is a rethought track +information mangement system that uses SQL servers to manage the data. +This is another track information method libcdaudio is capable of +using. + + The Cover Art Index ("http://coverart.undergrid.net/") provides a +method of locating cover art for a particular CD based upon the disc's +name or CD Index ID. + + The entire libcdaudio API may be found in the libcdaudio +programmer's manual at "http://cdcd.undergrid.net/libcdaudio/manual/". +The interface to the given functions will remain as they are +specified, although new functions may continue to be added. |
