Stand Alone Audio CD Player

Abstract

Most CD-ROM drivers come with convenient features to allow users to play and listen to audio CDs , but staying along with the computer to listen. For portability needs and the ability of using an old and damaged computer CD driver, instead of throwing it away, this project will be constructed to allow users playing music without computer and controlling the running track also to display tracks information on LCD and may play stored tracks without CD. A CD driver will be interfaced to LCD and switches through a PIC microcontroller 1/0 ports, the switches will provide the ability of controlling the drive operation such as open/close door, next track, play, previous track, and pause on/off . The LCD will display tracks info and drive status . an amplifier will be supported to allow the user to listen to the CD without using headphones.
