CD-DA Reader is a Rust library designed to read audio CD data, leveraging knowledge of SCSI commands.

A personal project demonstrating systems programming capabilities and the utility of LLMs for learning complex technical domains.

This is a niche, personal systems programming project. While it showcases Rust's capabilities for low-level hardware interaction and the author's learning process with LLMs, it lacks B2B SaaS relevance. The market for audio CD ripping libraries is mature and largely consumer-driven, with limited ...
