The VoltoCDX CDDB Component is an ActiveX DLL that can be used to retrieve detailed track and title information about an audio CD from a web-based CDDB database. The component has been designed to work directly with the service provided by freedb.org whose database currently contains data on more than 400,000 CDs.

The component automatically recognises an audio CD and just a few lines of code are needed to download information such as the disc's title, track titles and playing time as well as several other items of extended information. VoltoCDX also provides functionality to retrieve data from local off-line CDDB database files and to allow an application to submit new or revised data to an on-line database. Basic CD data (such as track timings) may also be retrieved off-line.

Features:
  • Automatic CD identification.
  • Retrieves and submits CD information.
  • Retrieves basic timing and extended CD and track title information.
  • Supports standard audio CDs (CD Extra discs are not currently supported)
  • Supports data retrieval based on CD signature (CDDBid and genre).
  • Supports off-line local database files.
  • Support for proxy servers makes access easy for users behind firewalls.
  • Uses the latest version of the CDDB Server Protocol (level 5, released on July 8th, 2001).
  • Small footprint makes for easy distribution with your application. Requires no external Winsock libraries or components.
  • Can be used with all development tools and applications that support COM components (e.g: Visual Basic)
  • Simple to program. Only a few lines of code are needed.

Typical applications include:
  • Audio CD players and rippers.
  • Audio CD databases and libraries.
  • CDDB information submission clients.
