Hi

I need to access CDDB (and also MusicBrainz would be nice) on Linux. I found https://wiki.freepascal.org/CDDB but as that page suggests, the download link is defunct.

Are there any other such? In the past I have done this by spawning two bash scripts which use CDDB and write text files. Ugly. Slw. Error-prone (the format of the results is a bit variable).

I'm not too proud to do that again, but is there a more elegant way?

Teresa

FPC comes with such units since ages:

I have added a note to the wiki article that suggests the FPC unit as well as your article about this.

Additionally I've added a note about FreeDB being down.

Sven
