BTW: don't use CDDB, use FreeDB (http://www.freedb.org/). The CDDB
people (Escient) changed the license on access to the database and
now demand insane things from the authors of CD player programs.
Since this database was/is put together by people all over the net
for free Escient should be sued for behaviour like that, but it
would be too difficult I guess. FreeDB keeps its database and server
software available under the GPL.
So if your CD player is using CDDB, point it to FreeDB instead and
if you want to submit a CD send it to FreeDB !
