About:
libcdio is a C library for CD-ROM and CD image access, providing an abstracted API for low-level drive control and data reading. It includes drivers for various operating systems and supports multiple image formats like ISO, BIN, and CDRDAO. This enables developers to build portable applications that interact with optical media without handling hardware specifics.
Key Features:
  • Cross-platform API for CD-ROM device access
  • Support for multiple image formats (ISO, BIN, CDRDAO, etc.)
  • Includes cdio and cddadump utilities for command-line interaction
  • Object-oriented design with driver abstraction
Use Cases:
  • Developing applications that need to read or rip audio/video CDs
  • Creating tools to inspect or dump CD image files
  • Porting legacy CD-ROM software to modern systems
Alternatives:
  • libdiscid – Focused on MusicBrainz disc identification rather than full read/control access.
