## CD Database Preferences

The CD Database preference tool enables you to configure a CD database that your system can query. A CD database contains information about CDs, such as the name of the artist, the title, and the track list. When an application plays a CD, the application can query the CD database about the CD, then display the information.

Not all applications that use audio CDs use the settings in this preference tool. Some may have supply their own settings in their preference dialog.

Tabella 8.2, “CD Database Preferences” describes the preferences in the CD Database preference tool.
