Chapter 6. CDDB Support

freedb is a distributed network database accessible over the Internet that contains information about most audio CDs in circulation. If you have Internet access, you will likely never have to manually enter track information for your CDs if you have this set up properly. See The freedb Tab subsection in the configuring KsCD chapter for detailed instructions on how to configure this service, and the The CD Database Editor section for instructions on how to edit CDDB entries.

Use of the CDDB is free. Submissions from users are encouraged.

When preparing entries for the CDDB, please keep the following points in mind:

However, when uploading, only the official CDDB categories are displayed. The default upload address is . For more information about freedb visit the freedb homepage.

The local CDDB entry for a particular CD is stored in the file category name/disc ID under the CDDB Base Folder. These files can be edited with any text editor if you have nothing better to do with your spare time.
