One thing that seems to work is opening the CD with kscd which reads CD-Text. It will report that there is no database entry for the CD. Then open the CDDB editor in kscd. It is already filled in with the CD-Text data. Submit it to freedb.org. This also creates an entry in ~/.cddb. Two problems. I think there should be a direct way to do the conversion and I think it may be an abuse of freedb.org to submit stuff that no one else has. Google was not my friend on this one. I assumed there must be some perl thing that would read CD-Text and output a cddb file. After all, the capability is built into kscd. It just doesn't seem to write a local file without submitting to freedb.org. -- _____________________________________________________________ Art Alexion PGP fingerprint: 52A4 B10C AA73 096F A661 92D2 3B65 8EAC ACC5 BA7A Keyserver: hkp://subkeys.pgp.net The attachment - signature.asc - is my electronic signature; no need for alarm.
