Audio cds

Is it possible to get the freedb/cddb file from the filename of an audio cd? The audio cd on wb give a name.. example: audiocd_0a00048e56. Can this information be used to finding the corerct freedb file for this music cd? Or how is this solved?

If you set the proper tooltypes in PlayCD, it will fetch the CDDB file for you.

I have a directory reserved for CDDB files and I use these PlayCD tooltypes:


DOSDEV=CD0
(DEVICE=scsi.device)
(UNIT=2)
(SKIP=???)
(PEEKTIME=333333)
(PUBSCREEN=<public screen name>)
(BUFMEMTYPE=1)
USECDDB
URL=http://freedb.org:80/~cddb/cddb.cgi
(PROXY=)
USER=xxxx@yyyy.com
CACHEDIR=Caches:CDDB
LISTSIZE=10
USEAHI

"USER" has to be an email address. It doesn't have to be real, any address will do. I use an old address from the dial-up days, but it still works, even though the company folded 15 years ago.

I think the volume name is related to the memory address of its process (and thuis unrelated to the disc-id), but I'm not sure.

The CDDB file is named with the disc-id, which is calculated from some information about the disc; the number of tracks, the total length, and the lengths of the two first tracks, IIRC. You can find exact info on the freedb.org site, e.g. in this file: http://ftp.freedb.org/pub/freedb/misc/freedb_howto1.07.zip
