CD++ catalogues, plays and samples from audio and mixed-mode CDs. CD++ will also catalogue data CDs (CD ROMs), but can obviously not play or sample from them. For more information, see Adding CDs to the catalogue and Playing CDs.

CD data, ie artist, title, date and track names, is held in a catalogue. When a catalogued CD is loaded in the CD drive, it is recognised and its data is displayed. When an un-catalogued CD is loaded, you can either enter the title and other data manually, or you can import the data from the Windows 95 CDplayer, if the CD is catalogued there, or you can obtain the data online from the CDDB database. CDDB is a large (150,000+ entries) database of CD information which can be queried via the Internet. For more information, see Adding CDs to the catalogue, Editing catalogue data and CDDB overview.

Each catalogued CD can have an associated Playlist. Playlists can contain tracks and segments, and contain multiple entries for the same track or segment. Existing playlists can be imported from the Windows 95 CDplayer.
