Redbook for Google TV

Menudo Consulting AB

About this app

Redbook is the first bit-perfect audio CD player for Google TV. Connect any USB CD or DVD drive to your Google TV Streamer or Chromecast with Google TV, insert an audio CD, and experience pure uncompressed audio — exactly as the mastering engineer intended.

■ HOW IT WORKS

1. Connect a USB CD/DVD drive via a USB-C OTG hub
2. Insert an audio CD
3. Redbook reads the disc, identifies the album, and fetches album name, track information and cover art
4. Press play — bit-perfect PCM audio streams directly from the disc

■ AUDIO QUALITY

• Pure PCM: 16-bit, 44.1 kHz, 1,411 kbps — the Red Book standard
• Bit-perfect playback: no DSP, no resampling, no compression
• Gapless playback across track boundaries
• Direct from disc to your ears — the way music was meant to be heard

■ CAST TO CHROMECAST

• Stream bit-perfect 16-bit/44.1 kHz audio to any Chromecast device on your network
• No re-encoding, no Bluetooth compression — pure PCM from disc to your speakers
• Supports Chromecast Audio, Chromecast with Google TV, NVIDIA Shield, and any Cast-enabled speaker or AVR

■ RIP TO LOSSLESS FLAC

• Rip your CDs to FLAC files directly from your TV — no PC needed
• MusicBrainz tags (title, artist, album, track number) and cover art embedded automatically
• Files saved to connected storage for easy browsing

■ FEATURES

• Full remote control: D-pad navigation, play, pause, skip, previous, stop
• Automatic album, artist, and track identification
• Cover art fetched automatically

Note: some devices may not supply enough bus power for a USB CD drive. If the drive doesn't spin up, use a powered USB hub or USB-C OTG splitter with PD pass-through.
