Remarks

When CD info is available the container application is notified through the CallbackForCdDrivesEvents delegate which is invoked with the nEvent parameter set to EV_CDDB_ALBUM_INFO_AVAIL: 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 container application is notified through the CallbackForCdDrivesEvents delegate which is invoked with the nEvent parameter set to:
| • | EV_CD_COVER_URLS_AVAIL so it will be possible getting the URLs of the CD cover pictures using the GetCdCoverPictureURL method. |
| • | EV_CD_COVER_SMALL_FILE_AVAIL, EV_CD_COVER_MEDIUM_FILE_AVAIL and EV_CD_COVER_LARGE_FILE_AVAIL so it will be possible getting the temporary file pathname, containing the downloaded CD cover pictures, using the GetCdCoverPictureFile method. |
