The CDDB module implements a Perl class for communicating with an
|
|
audio compact disc database through the CDDBP protocol. 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).
