ABSTRACT:
An apparatus is presented which gathers information about optical disks (e.g., CDs) stored in an optical disk player and provides this information to a user. The apparatus includes the optical disk player and a computer system coupled to the optical disk player. The optical disk player retrieves data from optical disks, and includes storage for multiple optical disks (i.e. an optical disk cassette). A data transfer unit within the optical disk player transfers information about the contents of one or more optical disks in the cassette to the computer system. The computer system includes a memory unit for storing the information. The memory unit includes system software for controlling the transfer of the information from the optical disk player to the computer system, and for controlling the storing of the information within the memory unit. The computer system may also include a monitor for displaying the information. The apparatus may also include a remote unit coupled to the computer system and having a display device (e.g., an LCD or LED display module) for displaying the information.
