Nice to see someone picked this up and ran with it. Good luck.

Thanks, Kent (@TheOldPresbyope)

After a first version, I just commit a completely different one. This time most of the job is done using a Python script.
Today as in your version :

 - When CD is inserted, queue is cleared, and tracks are added.

But these are now working too:

 - Once tracks are added the queue is played.
 - Metadata (artist, track titles...) are got from cdtext info and or musicbrainz when available.
 - The metadata are added as tag to the MPD server and consequently well updated in the IU.
 - A cache of metadata is managed, to go faster at the next insertion of the CD.

And these are only almost working unfortunately:

 - The cover image is downloaded from musicbrainz
 - I tried several hacks to get the image considered. Currently, I kept one in `www/inc/playerlib.php`.

The hack is far to be perfect, I should have missed something. The UI refresh the cover only if I manually reload it in my browser. I'm sure that there is a nicer way to do it, but not yet found.

All the best, and happy if you have some ideas.

PS To @Tim Curtis : Thank you for moOde audio. I saw in another thread that you indicated : "There are no plans to integrate CD playback or ripping in moOde because there are already super nice, well-supported CD ripping utilities". I agree with you for ripping, but now that you have integrated superb equalizers in moOde, and that I have configured the parametric equalizer for correcting the main defaults of my music room, I'm happy to be able to play my CD through moOde without having to rip them, I think just because I like true discs ;-).
