-This library is to encapsulate CD-ROM reading and
-control. Applications wishing to be oblivious of the OS- and
-device-dependant properties of a CD-ROM can use this library.
+The libcdio package contains a library which encapsulates CD-ROM
+reading and control. Applications wishing to be oblivious of the OS-
+and device-dependant properties of a CD-ROM can use this library.
+
+Also included is a library for working with ISO-9660 filesystems.
 
 Some support for disk image types like BIN/CUE and NRG is available,
 so applications that use this library also have the ability to read
 disc images as though they were CD's.
 
-Immediate uses are VCDImager, a navigation-capable Video CD plugin
-and CD-DA plugin for the media player xine.
+Immediate of the library in this package are the Video CD authoring
+and ripping tools VCDImager (http://vcdimager.org), a
+navigation-capable Video CD plugin and CD-DA plugins for the media
+players xine (http://xinehq.de) and videolan's vlc
+(http://videolan.org).
 
-A sample utility, cdinfo, is included which displayings CD info. 
+Also include in the libcdio package is a utility program cd-info which
+displays CD information: number of tracks, CD-format and if possible
+basic information about the format.  If libcddb
+(http://libcdddb.sourceforge.net) is available, the cd-info program
+will display CDDB matches on CD-DA discs. And if a new enough version
+of libvcdinfo is available (from the vcdimager project), then cd-info
+shows basic VCD information. 
 
-If libcddb (http://libcddb.sourceforge.net) is available, the cdinfo
-program will display CDDB matches on CD-DA discs.
+Other utility programs in the libcdio package are cd-read, for
+performing low-level block reading of a CD or CD image, iso-info for
+displaying ISO-9660 information from an ISO-9660 image, and iso-read
+for extracting files from an ISO-9660 image.
