+>SDL supports audio control of up to 32 local CD-ROM drives at once.</P
+><P
+>You use this API to perform all the basic functions of a CD player,
+including listing the tracks, playing, stopping, and ejecting the CD-ROM.
+(Currently, multi-changer CD drives are not supported.)</P
+><P
+>Before you call any of the SDL CD-ROM functions, you must first call
+"<TT
+CLASS="FUNCTION"
+>SDL_Init(SDL_INIT_CDROM)</TT
+>", which scans the system for
+CD-ROM drives, and sets the program up for audio control.  Check the 
+return code, which should be <SPAN
+CLASS="RETURNVALUE"
+>0</SPAN
+>, to see if there 
+were any errors in starting up.</P
+><P
+>After you have initialized the library, you can find out how many drives
+are available using the <TT
+CLASS="FUNCTION"
+>SDL_CDNumDrives()</TT
+> function.  
+The first drive listed is the system default CD-ROM drive.  After you have 
+chosen a drive, and have opened it with <TT
+CLASS="FUNCTION"
+>SDL_CDOpen()</TT
+>, 
+you can check the status and start playing if there's a CD in the drive.</P
+><P
+>A CD-ROM is organized into one or more tracks, each consisting of a certain
+number of "frames".  Each frame is ~2K in size, and at normal playing speed,
+a CD plays 75 frames per second.  SDL works with the number of frames on a
+CD, but this can easily be converted to the more familiar minutes/seconds
+format by using the <TT
+CLASS="FUNCTION"
+>FRAMES_TO_MSF()</TT
+> macro.</P
