cd-discid - read CD and get CDDB discid information
cd-discid [
option...]
In order to do CDDB queries over the Internet, you must know the DiscID of the
CD you are querying.
cd-discid provides you with that information. It
outputs the discid, the number of tracks, the frame offset of all of the
tracks, and the total length of the CD in seconds, on one line in a
space-delimited format.
cd-discid was designed as a backend tool for
cdgrab (now
abcde) but will work independently of it.
