NAME
cdindex - program to register and retrieve information in the cdindex.org CD database.
SYNOPSIS
cdindex -s [cdrom device]
cdindex -g [cdrom device]
cdindex -l [cdrom device]
DESCRIPTION
This manual page documents briefly the cdindex client program.
cdindex is used to send or retrieve the title, length and artist information of the music CD which is in the cdrom device from the cdindex.org database.
This program uses html instead of a special protocol. The data will be freely available from cdindex.org (as will the server).
This manual page was written for the Debian GNU/Linux distribution because the original program does not have a manual page.
OPTIONS
When invoked without a cdrom device cdindex uses /dev/cdrom. Supply a device name like /dev/hdd if the music CD is not in the device /dev/cdrom points to.
- -s
-
send the information of the current CD to the database. This (currently) invokes netscape.
- -g
-
gets the titles of the current CD from the database. This opens netscape with a listing of the titles and the artists of the current CD.
- -l
-
This displays the URL with which netscape would have been invoked (but netscape is not started).
TODO
The choice of the webbrowser should be a configuration option.
