	Gracenote - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The CDDB technology became popular in the 1990s, as it allowed MP3s to be automatically annotated with artist, album, title, and other information during the process of ripping from CD.
		CDDB was then spun out of Escient and then in July of 2000 renamed Gracenote.
		CDDB claims that license grant was an error, and had modified the website in 1998 to avoid mention of the database's copyright status.

	CDDB - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		CDDB (which stands for Compact Disc Database) is a database for software applications to look up audio CD (compact disc) information over the Internet.
		The need for CDDB is a direct consequence of the original design of the CD, which was conceived as an evolution of the gramophone record, and did not consider the audio tracks as data files to be identified and indexed.
		CDDB was invented by Ti Kan as a local database which was delivered with his popular xmcd music player application.

	[No title]
		The CDDB concept was pioneered by xmcd and is now embraced as a standard by many other CD and music-related applications.
		CDDB access is free of charge, but you can use this feature only if your system is connected to the Internet, either via a dial-up link or a dedicated connection.
		If the Internet CDDB servers do not have the information for some of your CDs, you are encouraged to enter the information, and then submit it to the master database for others to share.

	CDDB
		CDDB is a database for software applications to look up CD (compact disc) information over the Internet.
		CDDB is used primarily by media player and CD ripper software.
		The initial CDDB license was GNU General Public License, and many people who submitted CD information without charging anybody and thinking their help would remain free.

	Escient Acquires Preeminent Internet Music Database Company CDDB LLC Business Wire - Find Articles
		CDDB is the most extensive source of data for automatic identification of music CDs that are inserted into a computer, a CD player or a CD changer.
		In addition to its existing family of licensees, CDDB is currently in the final stages of negotiations with more than 30 other companies who are seeking this hotly sought after license for this unique source of data.
		CDDB's data is required to perform recognition of music CD's that are inserted into the computer or into consumer electronics devices.

	washingtonpost.com: CDDB Strikes A Chord
		On an Internet-connected computer, the CDDB service (www.cddb.com) works near-transparently: In a few seconds, it computes the time signature of the tracks on a CD, matches that pattern to a database of song and album titles, and displays the right names in your music program.
		But the developers were able to finesse this, and CDDB took off.
		Tuesday night, for instance, CDDB served up the wrong title for P.J. Harvey's new CD and botched the titles of a songs on popular CDs from U2 and Pearl Jam.

	Access denied: A copyright battle \| CNET News.com
		More immediately, the case will determine the fate of two alternative CD databases--Freedb.org and MusicBrainz.org--that were created after several programmers on the Internet realized that Gracenote had essentially fenced off the original CDDB by changing the terms of the licenses.
		Like Gracenote's CDDB, the two open-source services allow people to download information from the Internet on just about any audio CD they insert into their computer.
		While several cases have established such copyright protections for databases, the CDDB is fundamentally different from other collections of information created by companies, said Eben Moglen, professor of law and legal history for Columbia Law School and general counsel for the Free Software Foundation.

		Most firewalls allow access to port 80 (the standard HTTP port), so access to the CDDB service should not be a problem.

	Foetusized's Article on CDDB, freedb, and CDValet
		Escient bought the open-source CDDB project, and have come up with several ways to leverage the technology and the database itself into ways of making a profit.
		Of the available CDDB clients, I personally have used the shareware client program CDValet on two Windows boxes (home and work) for many years now, back to when the original CDDB was still open-source and non-profit.
		Partly due to being cut off from CDDB access by Gracenote, GLH Software has removed all content about CDValet from their site; before this, they had continued to offer the last version for download, with a free registration key posted on their site (with permission to freely distribute this key).

	CDDB.pm - a high-level interface to cddb protocol servers
		CDDB protocol (cddbp) servers provide compact disc information for programs that need it.

		When the CDDB connection is made, you should temporarily see a small popup window indicating that CDDB is activated, and a "success" notification if your CD info is found.
		Windows CD Player cddb file (cdplayer.ini) is only used for storing cddb info if you've replaced Winamp's default cd plugin (in_cdda.dll) with CDReader, otherwise in_cdda.dll stores the info in in_cdda.cdb in the winamp\plugins dir.
		These are windows CDDB files that are created for windows as FAT32 cannot hold more than a certain number of files in each directory (nowhere near enough to hold 1 file for each CD).

	WINAMP.COM \| Forums - Your Answer To CDDB Problems Behind Firewalls
		You see, the CDDB interface is provided by one of the Plug-Ins, not the Winamp core application.
		However, again depending on the firewall you have, they may require you to change the address of the CDDB server you are connecting to.
		Per the CDDB website, us.cddb.com is the CDDB protocol server address, but for HTTP protocol (they say for use behind firewalls) they say to use us.cddb.com, ~cddb.cddb.cgi.

		CDDB is an information database containing artist, disc title, track titles, and other information for digital audio compact discs.
		The CDDB data format and the CDDB servers are designed to be open, and are used by many client applications requiring CD information.
		CDDB has become more commercialized of late, since its introduction of a binary SDK with closed validation and new licensing rules.

	CDDB: Feel the Pain
		In case you didn't know, the file format that CDDB (and FreeDB) use is complete garbage.
		Of course the reason that I use CDDB files at all in Gronk is because of the mind-blowing worthlessness of ID3 tags (32 character limits on titles, etc.) Yay more standards invented by 12-year-olds.
		And as if CDDB wasn't bad enough, FreeDB has taken the CDDB braindeadness and layered even more braindeadness on top of it: it is truly a thing of wonder.

	Net::CDDB - Communicate with CDDB Servers using CDDB Protocol
		Since 888 is the CDDB standard port, it is unlikely that you'll need to change this unless you're talking to an experimental server.
		It also refers to the CDDB protocol (TCP port 888) which is used to query CDDB databases to retrieve and update information about music CDs.
		This module is ``read-only'' which is to say that it doesn't allow you to submit CDDB records to a server.

		CDDB returns information based on a unique 'discid' created by a formula which uses the CD table of contents.
		EasyTag allows you to submit a CDDB query from an album of encoded files - it'll use the track times to calculate the CD's id (the track names must be numbered in the correct order) - a really excellent tagging app.

	Net::CDDBScan - String search interface to CDDB datbase
		Net::CDDBScan is an interface to the www.cddb.com website; or more specifically to their online search engine for the cddb database.
		This module allows you to take any existing string like ``tricky'' or ``for whom the bell tolls'' and get the artist name, all albums from said artist and all songs on ANY album said artist has ever worked on.
		More changes are expected which will allow much cleaner usage, much more functionality and caching of data to a local cddb database (optional).

		On 200, a dictionary containing three items is returned: info['category']: The category the audio CD belongs in info['disc_id']: The CDDB checksum disc ID of the given disc info['title']: The title of the audio CD On 211 or 210, a list will be returned as the second item.
		The optional user and host arguments are sent in the 'hello' portion of the CDDB query.
		They should correspond to the user's email address (if you believe in the CDDB docs, that is -- it may not be nice to send the user's email address without asking them!) By default, if the EMAIL environment variable is set, user and host will be set by parsing $EMAIL into user@host.

		It uses a well-defined format to store the length of each track and information about the track (title, artist, etc.) and about the disc on which it is published.
		At this time (July 2001) there is dispute over who owns the database, who owns its information, who can access it, who can duplicate it and on and on.

		As I understood it the CDDB identified track names based on the overall signature of a CD, including its ID number and the lengths of all the tracks.
		Since the CDDB was a community based system, it would thus rely on the people ripping it to enter the correct information.
		The CDDB steal data from people that were riping CDS to put the on Napster which now sleeps with RIAA and uses the very data those people typed in and can't have free access to, to prevent them access to the song they ripped.

		FreeDB database is organized by category and CDDB#, so when application connects to FreeDB server, it uses CDDB# to access specific album data.
