DESCRIPTION

Get data out of a cddb file (use "-" for stdin). Options (use one and only one):

template [disc-id] [tracks]

Generates a template (empty) cddb file to stdout. The command line should be essentially the output of cd-discid.

query [server] [user] [host] [disc-id] [tracks]

Looks up disc on server (should be of form "http://host/cddb/cddb.cgi") remainder of command line is in the same form as that returned by the cd-discid program. Uses wget, so if you need to use a proxy then just configure wget to do so. user and host will be used for identifying ourselves to the CDDB server. Outputs response code and entries with matching CDDB entries, if successful, from the CDDB server.

read [server] [user] [host] [disc-id] [genre]

Dumps CDDB entry to stdout. File will contain an extra #CATEGORY= line, which leaves it a valid CDDB file but which will be recognized by parse and send commands. Uses wget, so if you need to use a proxy then just configure wget to do so. user and host will be used for identifying ourselves to the CDDB server.
