NAME

       cccd - yet another CD player with CDDB support

SYNOPSIS

       cccd

DESCRIPTION

       cccd is a small GTK+ CD player program with many features:

         * Works with SCSI devices
         * CDDB lookups (local and remote) and local storing
         * Uses very little screen space
         * Handles CD Extras (mixed mode CDs)

OPTIONS

       None.

USAGE

       Upon starting cccd two windows will pop up: a smaller control panel and a status window.

   The Control Panel
       Here  are  the  buttons for controlling the CD drive. The main action will take place here. The left most
       button is the exit button, which will cause cccd to quit. The right  most  button  will  cause  the  Info
       window  (q.v.)  to pop up.  Buttons in the top row (left to right): Previous Track, Play, Next Track, and
       in the bottom row: Pause, Stop and Eject. Their functions should be self-explanatory.

   The Status Window
       You will see four rows of text here, and a progress bar below that. The top most row shows the Artist and
       Title  of  the CD, if known. Below that is the track title. Then comes the time display and then a status
       row.  You can toggle the time display between

         - CD time passed
         - CD time remaining,
         - Track time passed,
         - Track time remaining

       by clicking on the window above the progress bar.  The status information will show  the  current  status
       and the play mode.  You can toggle the playmodes (Normal, Loop Track, Loop CD, Random) by clicking on the
       progress bar. The progress bar will always show the elapsed CD time.

   The Info Window
       This window is divided into two sections:

   CD
       Here you can see (and later enter) the CD title and Artist, followed by a list of the Track titles. Below
       this  there  are  button  that  (will)  allow you to Save the current CD data, submit it to a remote CDDB
       database, and Undo any changes you have made since the last saving.  You can realize a  playlist  of  the
       tracks  you  want  to  hear,  by clicking on the track row. Darker tracks will not be played. (Note: Data
       tracks will be 'unselected' automatically).

   CDDB
       You can enter the relevant data for remote and local cddb databases here, and the lookup order.   If  the
       remote  databases  lookup  protocol  is http, you will need to enter the URL in addition to the hostname,
       without the leading "http://" (e.g. "example.url.com/cddb/database/lookup.cgi".  The category section  is
       not  used,  and will be omitted in future versions.  "Save" will save the info to "~/.cccdrc". I'll leave
       to your imagination what Undo does.
