[ubuntu-in] Retrieving Track details from Audio CD's

[Linux Lingam]

[snip]

a) i prefer freedb over CDDB. you may web-search to find out the
differences between them.

b) almost all lookup client software tend to look up a local
subdirectory first, and then go to freedb or whatever you've set,
next.

somehow, i tend not to like the idea of my client software doing these
lookups, so have stopped this ability in all my software. whenever i
do wish to lookup details of an album, i actually go to amazon.com or
to other music sites, and manually look up details of tracks, and type
them in.
cumbersome. quirky. fun.

some day, try out last.fm. nothing to do with this, but the 'similar'
feature is a logical extension of a mere lookup feature.
