[How To] CD playback

[TheOldPresbyope]

Kent,

Maybe we should try to integrate this into r650 given the rich set of features already completed and planned?

As long as we can detect its a CD we can add some logic to display "16/44.1" and hide the "unknown.../unknown..." line from Playlist.

Artist/album/title lookup would be something to look at post r650

Fixed audioinfo.php this afternoon. Now working on blanking the Unknowns. So far, V1.0 appears to consist of simple additions to playerlib.php and audioinfo.php along with the handful of service and bash scripts already in V0.1.

The V2.0 wish list looks much harder even with the wonderful abcde bash script [1] as a pathfinder. I'd almost want to implement a simple Internet-connected CD player first to gain some experience with the online metadata/coverart services.

I should be done with cleaning up V1.0 (like deleting the snarky comment lines I planted as I was figuring out how php does things!) and testing the result in a fresh moOde install in the next day or so.

I'm developing in 6.4.2. I want to try using diff/patch to add the php code to 6.5.0.

Regards,
Kent
