     I explored a bunch of those, but they are either for Windows, cost 
money, or are players that have some CDDB import/edit features.

    I am concluding that you are right.  I just wanted to make sure that 
I wasn't missing something obvious to others.

    This is another of those cases where some simple whim expands beyond 
reason.  I am doing a photo inventory of my lab for insurance purposes.  
After all the important stuff was done (a mere 750 photos), getting 
close-up photos of the music CD spines (sitting in their rack) seemed 
like a good idea.  But wait - all that information and more is in the 
CDDB directory...  But it isn't in insurance-agent-readable form.

    So, I will photograph the spines to prove I have the CDs and copy 
the .cddb directory to the inventory CD.  If I have to make a claim, 
the problem of cddb-to-database-to-agent can be solved then.

    Problems get solved on gnhlug just like magic!
