#Hi folks
#
#Is there an open-source CD-Player that support downloading of 
#track names -
#I'm not really interested in the source for all the CD playing 
#- just want
#to see how it gets the track names.

check cddb.com or the open source equivalent - essentially a CRC of the
Table
of Contents stored on the CD is generated and checked against a database.
s/w then pulls down the names of the tracks et al.

http://www.google.com/search?sourceid=navclient&q=open+cddb for more info.
