A total rewrite of Sound Juicer is on my to do list, but as my current
laptop doesn't have a CD drive progress has been slow. ;)  One of the
goals has been to ensure that the low-level libraries don't require GTK+
at all.  That said, metadata is tricky.

- CD-Text.  I've yet to see a commercial CD with CD-Text support
- FreeDB: useless.  The commercial servers are good (cf iTunes), but
freedb is a waste of space.  [this is where I get flamed]
- Musicbrainz.  Yes, libmusicbrainz is dead.  However, long live
libmusicbrainz!  There is a new API to the musicbrainz server which
resulted in a far saner library and I have a prototype patch to hook it
into libjuicer.

I have a plan, it just needs doing.  Volunteers to help gut and
reconstruct Sound Juicer welcome. :)
