Subject: CDDB/icedax quick lookup utility


Hello, I just started using icedax to capture CD audio on Linux.
It's working great on my 2.0.22 kernel with NEC CD-ROM DRIVE:273 (ATAPI).

Anyway, I noticed that you're dumping out cddb query info, but not
doing the query yet, so I hacked a quick perl program to do it. 

If you run with a default extraction like this:

   icedax -B -D /dev/hda

then run the program included something like this:

   cddbhack.pl ma.us.cddb.com 8880 < audio.cddb

It looks up the names, and creates a file "rename.sh" which can be
used to rename all the audio_XX.wav files to a nice name.

Anyway, thought you might find it useful, feel free to include in your
next beta distribution or not.  Sorry if I made any stupid perl
mistakes, I only just learned it last week.  I would have done it in C
or python but I need to learn perl for another job...

Cheers,
