That would mean you just do something like pack your CDs songs in a dir and have an ID file in there with mp3s: mp3_1/ mp3_1/.CD-ID.data mp3_1/track1.mp3 mp3_1/track2.mp3 mp3_1/track3.mp3 mp3_1/track4.mp3 mp3_1/track5.mp3 And the data file would contain some stuff ripped off the CD. So you'd just make a small app that fontended mpg123/splay/whatever and used the .data file to access the cddb database and get the CD's name, and all the tracks, etc. That should be pretty easy, and the most cool solution. Specially if you had a small caching function in your program, so that it saved the info it had looked up in .CD-INFO.data or something, instead of looking it up in the database all the time. /Mikael To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-multimedia" in the body of the message
