Introduction

Turbo CD is not just another CD-Player for Windows. Its main feature is its integrated database. You are able to catalogize your whole CD collection. When you load your CD-ROM drive with a known CD, Turbo CD automatically displays the previously entered data, such as the titles and artists. Of course, the program also has all the normal functions of a CD-Player.

Just try it out! The user interface should be self-explanatory.

This program was written using Borland™ Delphi™ 1.0 and it is possible to purchase the source code. This means everything that was done by me in commented form (>3000 lines). For details, please contact me.
