Disc-cover provides an easy way to produce covers for audio CDs. Disc-Cover scans audio CDs and uses information from the CDDB or CDINDEX database to build a back and front cover for the CD. Output is in Latex, Dvi, PDF, Postscript, HTML, plain ASCII, or any other format suited for cdlabelgen.

Here are some key features of "Disc Cover":
uses Latex to produce high quality output,
outputs in Latex, Dvi, Postscript, Pdf, Cddb entry, HTML, ASCII and a format to use with the application cdlabelgen,
supports caching of cddb entries in a directory that can be shared with other freedb-aware programs,
connects with a freedb server to get the disc title, artist and list of track titles and extended information where available,
optionally let Disc-Cover search on allmusic.com for a small version of the corresponding front cover of the cd, which it will put on your front cover,
optionally put a picture on the front cover, supports almost any image format,
assign different colours to different items such as artist name and track numbers,
supports covers for double albums,
output for jewel cases and various slim cases.

Requirements:
cdcd
Perl
