cdown - query cddb database for info on a disc SYNOPSIS
cdown cdown [-[0..9]|-d device] [-H H] [-P P] [-V|-?|-h] DESCRIPTION
The cdown command is a command to query the CD-ROM for track information, use this to fetch information on this CD-ROM from the CDDB data- bases (freedb.freedb.org), and then output the information in a form suitable for cdir(1). cdown prints the information it downloads on stdout, in a format suitable for appending to .cdtooldb. Should there be an uncertainty as to which CD-ROM information it should download, it prints a list of alternatives to stderr and prompts for the user to select one. A network connection is required for this to operate properly. OPTIONS
-d device specify the cdrom device -H host get database using HOST (def=freedb.freedb.org) -P port get database using PORT (def=888) -l list available cddb hosts -[1..9] specify /dev/cdromN (def=/dev/cdrom) -r output raw answer of the CDDB server -v verbose output -D enable runtime debugging -V print version, exit -[?|h] print help, exit FILES
~/.cdtooldb - default database file. ENVIRONMENT
CDTOOLDBPATH - colon delimited path of database files to search. It is not necessary to specify ~/.cdtooldb, as this is automatically added to the end of the search path. CDTOOLDEV - device file for cd-rom, overrides compile-time defaults. CDDBHOST - host to query, overrides compile-time default SEE ALSO

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.
