Configuring a CD Database Server

To access the CD Database Server preference tool, click Launch, then choose Preferences -> Desktop Preferences -> CD Database Server.

The CD Database Server preference tool enables you to configure a CD database server that your system can query. A CD database server 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 server about the CD, then display the information.

Table 7–3 describes the preferences in the CD Database Server preference tool.
