cddb

CDDB is a Perl module that can read the CDDB entry for an audio CD in your drive.

SYNOPSIS

use CDDB_get qw( get_cddb );

my %config;

# following variables just need to be declared if different from defaults

$config{CDDB_HOST}="freedb.freedb.org"; # set cddb host
$config{CDDB_PORT}=8880; # set cddb port
$config{CDDB_MODE}="cddb"; # set cddb mode: cddb or http
$config{CD_DEVICE}="/dev/cdrom"; # set cd device

# user interaction welcome?

$config{input}=1; # 1: ask user if more than one possibility
# 0: no user interaction

# get it on

my %cd=get_cddb(%config);

unless(defined $cd{title}) {
die "no cddb entry found";
}

# do somthing with the results

print "artist: $cd{artist}n";
print "title: $cd{title}n";
print "category: $cd{cat}n";
print "cddbid: $cd{id}n";
print "trackno: $cd{tno}n";

my $n=1;
foreach my $i ( @{$cd{track}} ) {
print "track $n: $in";
$n++;
}

This module/script gets the CDDB info for an audio cd. You need LINUX, SUNOS or *BSD, a cdrom drive and an active internet connection in order to do that.

CDDB.py provides an easy way for Python programs to fetch track and disc information on audio CDs. It includes a C extension module to fetch track lengths under Linux, FreeBSD, OpenBSD, Mac OS X, Solaris, and Win32, which is easily ported to other operating systems.

The dynamic duo of CDDB.py and DiscID.py, along with their side-kick C module cdrommodule.so, provide an easy way for Python programs to fetch information on audio CDs from CDDB (http://www.cddb.com/) -- a very large online database of track listings and other information on audio CDs.

Note that for CDDB.py version 1.3 and later, the default CDDB servers have changed to FreeDB, as GraceNote, the owners of the previously-free CDDB archives, have become unreasonably restrictive with access to their database. See http://www.freedb.org/ for more information on FreeDB. UNIX platforms and Windows are both supported by the library.

The old CDDB servers are still usable, but GraceNote has banned all "non-registered" programs -- including CDDB.py -- from accessing their databases. Im not particularly interested in bending over backwards for them, but CDDB.query() can still access any CDDB host you specify, and from version 1.3 on, also allows you to fake the identification string to anything you wish for accessing their servers.

Whats New in This Release:

· Updated FreeDB version field to 5; this allows us to get access to the DYEAR and DGENRE fields in disc info from CDDB.read().
· Added Mac OS X support to cdrommodule.c; thanks to Andre Beckedorf and Jeffrey C. Jacobs.
· Changed default Solaris CD-ROM device to /dev/vol/aliases/cdrom0.

CDDB was developed as a program that will help you in managing your CD/DVD databases. This tool index all files on a CD/DVD (by selected categories) into the data and lets the user serach it for certain files.

CDDB allows the user to easily maintain a hugh collection (like ours, more then 200 CDs and 20 DVDs) in a very orginized way. The user can also save different data files for diffrent type of meterial (music, movies, data, etc.).

CDDB/CDDB_get Perl module gets the CDDB info for an audio CD.

The included script was intended as a demo for CDDB_get, but over time it has gained powerful features like the ability to write to a database, offline mode, HTTP mode (including proxy), saving in standard XMCD format, and writing lame commands.

Whats New in This Release:

· default port is now 8880 (not 888 anymore)
· fixes an ioctl perl problem on current redhat/fedora and maybe other systems too
· thanks to Gregory K. Ruiz-Ade and the redhat/fedora guys

CDDB MP3 Tool is an utility that will treat a directory of MP3 files as an Audio CD and access a FreeDB (CDDBp) server to retrieve information about the MP3 files.

Can rename and/or ID3-tag the files based on the information retrieved. It displays MP3 type (VBR/CBR) and bitrate and also includes a structure checker to verify the MP3 files. The list of CDDBp servers can be edited and it is even possible to configure the program to access a local CDDBp server.
