CD-DISCID(1)						      General Commands Manual						      CD-DISCID(1)

NAME

       cd-discid - read CD and get CDDB discid information

SYNOPSIS

       cd-discid [--musicbrainz] [devicename]

DESCRIPTION

       In  order  to  do  CDDB	queries  over the Internet, you must know the DiscID of the CD you are querying.  cd-discid provides you with that
       information. It outputs the discid, the number of tracks, the frame offset of all of the tracks, and the total length of the CD in seconds,
       on  one	line  in a space-delimited format.  cd-discid was designed as a backend tool for cdgrab (now abcde) but will work independently of
       it.

OPTIONS

       --musicbrainz
	      Output a TOC that is suitable for calculating the MusicBrainz disc id.

       devicename
	      CD-ROM block device name that contains the CD to be queried. If this option is omitted, the following device name is assumed:

	      /dev/cdrom
		     Linux and FreeBSD

	      /dev/cd0a
		     OpenBSD and NetBSD

	      /dev/vol/aliases/cdrom0
		     Solaris

	      /dev/disk1
		     MacOS X

	      /dev/cd0
		     Hurd

	      album  prints album title

	      track num
		     prints title of track num

	      category
		     prints category

       Mails file file (or stdin of no file specified) to specified address, using correct format.  Category should be one  of	blues,	classical,
       country, data, folk, jazz, newage, reggae, rock, soundtrack, misc.

       template [disc-id] [tracks]

       Generates a template (empty) cddb file to stdout.  The command line should be essentially the output of cd-discid.

       query [server] [user] [host] [disc-id] [tracks]

       Looks  up  disc on server (should be of form "http://host/cddb/cddb.cgi") remainder of command line is in the same form as that returned by
       the cd-discid program. Uses wget, so if you need to use a proxy then just configure wget to do so. user and host will be used for identify-
       ing ourselves to the CDDB server. Outputs response code and entries with matching CDDB entries, if successful, from the CDDB server.

       read [server] [user] [host] [disc-id] [genre]

       Dumps  CDDB  entry to stdout. File will contain an extra #CATEGORY= line, which leaves it a valid CDDB file but which will be recognized by
       parse and send commands. Uses wget, so if you need to use a proxy then just configure wget to do so. user and host will be used for identi-
       fying ourselves to the CDDB server.

       help
