Well, I do. It means, when you insert the CD, let's
say, "Oops, I did it again" by Britney Spears, the
album title and track label automatically appear
on the screen of your CD Player app, say the
gnome CD Player.

Exactly what everyone else means.
Since obviously I and every other reasonable
person understands the original question I
ask:
Can you, Carsten, contribute any information about
about CDText or CDDB that would complement,
what has already been written here?
Because I certainly don't know all the answers, my
answer (understanding the original question correctly,
of course) was not complete and only represented
my limited knowledge, so I'm reading this thread
looking for actual answers.
