CDDB / CDDB_get

Read the CDDB entry for an audio CD in your drive

Description

Everything is done in PERL, not just a C wrapper.

You can connect to a CDDB database directly, with http or http through a proxy.

There is OS autodetection for: cdrom device, endiness, cpu architecture and cdrom ioctl values.

Changes

  thanks to Rick for starting with a postgres version

2.25

• user:pass with proxy support - untested (thanks to Peter)
  Please try it, I don't have such a setup.

  All files are saved in a local tree and can be reused from there. Please try it if you like, it's not really tested.

2.23

• 64bit updates. For now just for *BSD. Tested on OpenBSD. Please try it on your favorite 64bit platform ;-)
  Thanks to: Enache Adrian, Jolan Luff and Dan Weeks. OpenBSD is now tested on: macppc, sparc64, alpha and i386.
• Minor POD fixes
