DESCRIPTION

       cddb-tool  is  a  backend tool for abcde. It is passed information from
       cd-discid and  uses  it  look  up  the  CD  title,  artist,  and  track
       information  on  the  cddb  database  (http://freedb.freedb.org) on the
       internet.

COMMANDS

       parse [file] option

       Get data out of a cddb file (use "-" for stdin).  Options (use one  and
       only one):

              id     prints disc id

              album  prints album title

              track num
                     prints title of track num

              artist prints artist

              category
                     prints category

              cddbgenre
                     synonym for category

              all    parse  file  and  dumps to stdout in a form sourceable by
                     the shell

       send [file] address

       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  identifying
       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 identifying
       ourselves to the CDDB server.

       help

       Prints usage information.
