-
- 1. FIRST TIME USE:
- Several QCD options are disabled by default. Be sure to
- customize QCD to your liking by setting the Startup/Shutdown
- and GUI Options. These options are under 'Properties' in the
- window menu.
- Also be sure to view the 'Using Quintessential CD' section of the about
- dialog. It has many tips, hints and help. This section is
- under the 'QCD...' option of the window menu.
-
-
- 2. CDDB SERVER SETUP:
- To set up CDDB servers, click the upper left corner of
- the QCD window and choose "Properties->CDDB Servers".
- If you are currently online you can click "Get Servers"
- to retrieve the latest list of CDDB servers located around the
- world. After a few seconds the list will appear. If you are
- not connected, or the list retrieval fails, you can enter a
- server manually.
- To enter a server manually, enter the server domain name
- in "Server Name". The port for CDDB servers is normally 888 or
- sometimes 8880. After entering the name and port, click "Add".
- The server will appear in the list.
- To get you started, a popular server is:
- Server Name:cddb.moonsoft.com Port: 8880
-
- Make sure one of the servers has 'Yes' under the default
- column, in order for that server to be used. Choose a server
- and select "Set Default" to enable that server. Choose Ok to
- close the window.
- Now open the QCD window menu again and choose "CDDB->Query CD"
- to start QCD finding your current CD. I a few seconds the CD
- and track names will appear in the main display.
-
- If when trying to query CDDB servers QCD normally fails,
- try using a different server. A slow server or garbled
- communication between QCD and the server can result in queries
- failing.
-
-
- 3. QCD DATABASE FILE:
- The file QCD stores all download cd information, qcd.qdb,
- is a file emulating a file system. Any modifications to the file
- not made by QCD, will most likely render the database useless.
- Therefore, do not modify this file by hand!
- Aside: For the inquisitive, the database file follows the Quake
- *.pak file specs.
