Perl interface to libcdaudio (cd + cddb): http://cdcd.undergrid.net/ This module was created for adding CDDB support to and cd tray . I added methods for a good chunk of other functions while I was at it, but the docs and glue is not complete. I do not have interest in completing the interface and docs, because xmms/Xmms::shell provides everything I need (at the moment) for audio. If you have an interesting reason for needing the missing pieces, I'll probably be interested in adding them.
