"Here's
a CD player that truly lives up to its name. CoolCD Studio not only
gives you just about every feature you'd want in a CD player, but
its attractive, customizable interface is a real delight to look
at (especially if you have the oscilloscope and spectrum analyzer
functions turned on). Full CDDB support is provided -- and we do
mean full -- including querying, submission, job caching, and queuing." -ZDNet May 31, 2000
