Description
The main goal of this utility is to manage the files of the "boot/home/cd" directory without using the Be's CDPlayer application.
Some features :

• Edit the album name, tracks name and release year;
• Modify the icon by a simple drag & drop of a picture;
• Create the layout of a CD;
• Create a list of all your albums in ASCII or HTML format;
• Print informations of your albums;
• Retrieve informations of your CD with a CDDB server.
• Export as CDPLayer.ini format.
  

You can find around 390 "CD files" descriptions on my site (see below).

• - [New] in CD Manager window : You can add new CDDB server in the list by using the CDDB Configuration window.
