 $cd->play_track_pos($strarttrack, $endtrack, $startpos);
play_track
 $cd->play_track($strarttrack, $endtrack);
track_advance
 $cd->track_advance($endtrack, $minutes, $seconds);
advance
 $cd->advance($minutes, $seconds);
get_volume
Returns an Audio::CD::Volume object.

 my $vol = $cd->get_volume;
set_volume
 $cd->set_volume($vol);

Audio::CDDB Class

discid
 my $id = $cddb->discid;
lookup
Does a cddb lookup and returns an Audio::CD::Data object.

 my $data = $cddb->lookup;

Audio::CD::Data Class

artist
 my $artist = $data->artist;
title
 my $title = $data->title;
genre
 my $genre = $data->genre;
tracks
Returns an array reference of Audio::CD::Track objects.

 my $foo = $data->tracks($info);
 my @tracks = @$foo;

Audio::CD::Track Class

name
 my $name = $track->name;

Audio::CD::Info Class

mode
Returns the CD mode, one of PLAYING, PAUSED, COMPLETED, NOSTATUS;

 my $track = $info->mode;
 print "playing" if $info->mode == Audio::CD::PLAYING;
present
Returns true if a disc is present.

 $cd->play if $info->present;
current_track
Returns the current track number being played or paused.

 my $track = $info->current_track;
first_track
Returns the number of the first track on the CD.

 my $track = $info->first_track;
total_tracks
Returns the total number of tracks on the cd.

 my $track = $info->total_tracks;
track_time
Returns the current track play time:

 my($minutes, $seconds) = $info->track_time;
time
Returns the current disc play time:

 my($minutes, $seconds) = $info->time;
length
Returns the disc length time:

 my($minutes, $seconds) = $info->length;
tracks
Returns an array reference of Audio::CD::Info::Track objects.

 my $foo = $info->tracks;
 my @tracks = @$foo;

Audio::CD::Info::Track Class

length
Returns the track length time:

 my($minutes, $seconds) = $tinfo->length;
pos
Returns the track position on the CD:

 my($minutes, $seconds) = $tinfo->pos;
type
Returns the track type (either TRACK_AUDIO or TRACK_DATA):

 if ($tinfo->type == Audio::CD::TRACK_AUDIO) {
   print "audio track\n";
 } elsif ($tinfo->type == Audio::CD::TRACK_DATA) {
   print "data track\n";
 }
is_audio
Returns true if the track is an audio track; equivalent to the test:

 $tinfo->type == Audio::CD::TRACK_AUDIO ? 1 : 0
is_data
Returns true if the track is a data track; equivalent to the test:

 $tinfo->type == Audio::CD::TRACK_DATA ? 1 : 0
