Package com.samskivert.net.cddb Description

Routines for accessing a CDDB server.

The CDDB class provides the primary interface to the CDDB services. This service does not provide a means to obtain the CD identification information that you'll need to perform a CDDB lookup. In the application that motivated the creation of these services, a cdparanoia process was spawned to read the disc info. Other mechanisms surely exist.

Use of the CDDB class is fairly straightforward:

      CDDB cddb = new CDDB();
      cddb.connect("www.freedb.org");
      CDDB.Entry[] entries = cddb.query(discid, frameOffsets, length);
      for (int i = 0; i < entries.length; i++) {
          CDDB.Detail detail = cddb.read(entries[i].category,
                                         entries[i].discid);
          // do your thang now...
      }
    

These services presently do not provide a mechanism for submitting a CDDB entry (which involves sending an email). It surely will in the future.
