I.  Internet Master CD Library Access

II.  User Submissions to the Internet Library



I.  *** Internet Master CD Library Access: ***

MyCDplayer (version 2.0.0 and above) has the ability to import title, artist 
and track information from a Master Library on the Internet.  This database 
was created for use with the Unix xmcd CD player package by Ti Kan 
(ti@amb.org). If you would like more information on this data base, point 
your browser to:

"http://sunsite.unc.edu/~cddb/xmcd/"

The major requirement for importing from this Master Library is a Winsock 
connection to the Internet.  You MUST be connected to the Internet before 
attempting to import any data.  The import feature works from both Win3.x 
and Win95 systems.

To access the Internet Library, load the CD you wish to import data for and 
select "Import" from the Main File menu.  The library system is available from 
a number of sites around the world - select the one nearest you from the menu, 
or the one that performs best for the particular time of day.

There are over 55,000 CDs in the library - new ones are being added daily.  We 
have run some tests on the library and found it to be well worth while.  

Once data has been imported from the library, you may wish to perform some 
maintenance, such as reversing the Artist's name and categorizing CDs with
MyCDplayers categories.  The Master Library categorizes all CDs, but only
some of them match the many more MyCDplayer categories - if they match, they
will be entered into the MyCDplayer categories.  The Master Library has a
large "Misc" category - we import them as category "None".


II.  *** User Submissions to the Internet Library: ***

We ask that you only submit CDs that have Title, Artist and all Track Title information keyed in.
Your extra effort to submit your CDs to the library is very much appreciated.

Currently, submissions to the library have to be done via email, one CD at the time.  
We have therefore implemented a scheme that lets you make all submissions offline to a file.
You should then attach this file (submit.txt) to an email message to us (wjohn@fix.net).

To enter CDs to the submit file, insert the CD to be submitted and press "Load CD".
Next select "Submit to Library" from the file menu of MyCDplayer.
Repeat above for all CDs you wish to submit.
Attach file "submit.txt" (which is in your mycd directory) to an email message to us at 
wjohn@fix.net, you may also submit it via a diskette to:
