there is the freedb.org and there is the cddb.org's databases.
I do not know about what api's each database uses. cdda2wav,
a command line program, lets you select via args which database
to use. So how does IT connect to a database of the user's choice?
Does it know about all the api's of the different music cd databases?

Could you adopt cdda2wav's way of connecting to any database the
user selects?

Thanx.
