It allows +quering the database and submitting new entries to it via e-mail +(the Mail::Internet and Mail::Header modules are required for +submitting, but their absence won't affect other functions). Unlike +its analogs, CDDB.pm doesn't try to read a disc in your CD-ROM by +itself, but relies on the main program supplying disc data. +Therefore, it is particularly useful for developing software that +deals with alternative media, such as MPEG audio files. + +*Note*: The original CDDB project (http://www.cddb.com) was aquired +by some greedy folks that decided to force developers pay license +fees. Thus they no longer provide service to those who use unlicensed +client software. So a patch is included in this port that changes +the default server to that of the freedb.org project +(http://www.freedb.org). + +WWW: http://search.cpan.org/search?module=CDDB + +- Yar +yar@comp.chem.msu.su |
