CD Player and MiniPlayer

The CD Player and the MiniPlayer are two quite intuitive applications, and they are capable of doing most of the functions you can do with in ordinary CD-player.

The MiniPlayer is best described as a "remote control" for the CD Player. It is only designed to do playbacks. If you need to customize, shuffle or record something from the audio cd, you will have to use the more feature rich CD Player application.

The CD Player also contains some goodies, that most CD Player applications don't have:

CD information
The CD Player has features for letting you add the name of the CD and the artist, and last but not least, the names of all the tracks. All this information will be saved in /boot/home/cd/, and the next time you listen to the cd, the information will be automatically retrieved.

The CD daemon replicant has an Internet lookup feature, and lets you retrieve CDDB information about the audio cd you have in your player. The daemon will in an easy way let you choose what song to play, and you can set it to start playing automatically as an CD gets put in to the player and shuffle the songs on the cd. It also has a volume control that lets you set a different level on the playback than on the system. The feature menu is opened by right-clicking the icon in the Deskbar.

The CD daemon shows a small information tag as a new songs get plaid or when you left-click on the mouse.

Harddisk recording
With CD Player you can rip your CDs to the following formats:

- AIFF/Raw Audio
- MP3/BladeEnc MP3 Encoder
- wav/Raw Audio

You don't have to rip complete tracks. You can also define the track segment you want to rip, by dragging the left and right arrows back and forth. Clicking the Preview button would then let you listen to the segment you have chosen. When you have find the right section, you click Save and you enter the segment a suitable name and where to save it.
