My friend just installed Plutohome, an open source Linux media project. Whenever he inserts a CD or DVD, it recognizes the disc and displays the cover art, along with detailed attributes, like the names of the chapters in a DVD, or the studio for a CD, like a Windows XP Media Center does. It also seems to cache this locally since the next time he puts the disc in the recognition is instant; first time there's a 2 second delay or so. I didn't know there was such a free system for Linux. I only knew about freedb, which works only for cd's, isn't nearly as accurate, and doesn't have cover art or other extended data.
The recognition is just as good as Windows XP MC, and it even shows the cover art on any mobile phones or pda's in the room. Anyway, it's open source so I guess that means everybody else can use it for their Linux projects too. But so far I haven't been able to find anybody else using it.
