The rumors of the death of the CD Index project have been greatly
exaggerated. :-)

The project is not dead -- I haven't had time in the last month to add any
new features. I should be able to dedicate some time to this project within
the next couple of weeks.

However, I guess it comes down to this:

Do people feel that this project is worth continuing? Every time I add a new
feature it seems that I get emails from people telling me that it is not
good enough or not enough and more features are needed. Aside from Marc
Woerkom, all we've got are armchair programmers that are constantly bitching
at my work. Not exactly motivating.

I would love to continue this project, but working on it alone is very
frustrating.
