cddb working in xmcd?

[Fernan Aguero]

Hi!

I've just installed xmcd and CDDB lookups are not working
for me ... though they work in goobox and/or gnome-cd.

I'm using xmcd.3.3.2_2 

Below is the output of 'xmcd debug 4'
(debug cd info). 

The disc in the CD drive is Coldplay, X&Y 


After looking for some place to edit the cddb servers and to
change them and test others, I noticed that xmcd prefers
cddb.com (gracenote) and hardcodes all access to the
cddb.com URL ... so I patched xmcd and now xmcd correctly
identified my Coldplay disc.

Now, what was the problem? 

i) cddb database is incomplete and lacks and entries for my discs?
ii) xmcd calculates bad disc Ids?
iii) cddb.com has a temporary failure

I've not stress tested xmcd with lots of discs (only a few
that I have at hand in the lab). But none of the discs I've
tried have been found using the default xmcd (cddb.com)
while all but one have been found by the patched xmcd (using
freedb.org):
Coldplay - X&Y
Cirque du Soleil - La Nouba
Pat Metheny - Still Life (talking)
Marisa Monte - Universo ao meu redor (not found, but this is a recent release)

Maybe we can add an optional WITH_FREEDB knob to the port? 

Fernan

PS: Caveat emptor ... I haven't tested the submit functionality
