Remarks
Requests the CDDB album info for the CD currently inside the given CD drive: this call needs an active Internet connection.
When the CD info will be available, the CallbackForRecordersEvents delegate is invoked with the nEvent parameter set to EV_REC_CDDB_ALBUM_INFO_AVAIL and at this point it will be possible:
This method call will also try to obtain the CD cover pictures: in case it should find them, the CallbackForRecordersEvents delegate is invoked with the nEvent parameter set to
| • | EV_REC_CD_COVER_URLS_AVAIL: notifies that the URL pointing to a certain CD cover picture is available and can be obtained through a call to the GetCdCoverPictureURL method. |
| • | EV_REC_D_COVER_SMALL_FILE_AVAIL, EV_REC_CD_COVER_MEDIUM_FILE_AVAIL and EV_REC_CD_COVER_LARGE_FILE_AVAIL: notify that a certain CD cover picture has been downloaded and is now available locally: the local absolute pathname of the picture can at this point be obtained through a call to the GetCdCoverPictureFile method. It's important to note that the downloaded picture files are temporarily stored inside the system defined "Temp" directory and are automatically deleted when the container application is closed. |
