but here is the greatest thing of all:
freedb.org (and probably cddb too) do *not* use the MCM number because
there are duplicates. instead, it does the absolutely *brilliant* thing
of creating an ID for the CD based on the length and number of tracks,
which is almost guaranteed to be unique.
How does one read the MCM number and any other
non-audio data
from a music CD? I want to build a MP3 server for our house and
definitely do not want to manually enter data from the art work in the
CD box.
It is my understanding that one can retrieve the MCM catalog
number and match it against a data base to turn that in to an album
name and song titles. Is this correct?
Yes it's called CDDB and any decent music player should have built in
support.
XMMS does talk to the CDDB right? If not we are a lot further behind
than I thought...
