This package contains classes to maintain music CD collections and associate CDs with information from a CDDB service.

The package provides transparent access to CDDB services, such as http://www.freedb.org/. In addition, it contains an implementation of a local file-based CDDB service, which stores and retrieves the CD information in the exact same format as available on a service like FreeDB.

The information to query a CD can be obtained directly from the CD-Drive, provided a platform-specific native library giving the Java runtime access to the drive properties. A Win32 implementation of such a library is included in the package.
