DESCRIPTION
       cddb-tool  is  a	 backend tool for abcde. It is passed information from
       cd-discid and uses it look up the CD title, artist, and track  informa‐
       tion on the cddb database (http://freedb.freedb.org) on the internet.

COMMANDS
       parse [file] option

       Get  data out of a cddb file (use "-" for stdin).  Options (use one and
       only one):

	      id     prints disc id

	      album  prints album title

	      track num
		     prints title of track num

	      artist prints artist

	      category
		     prints category

	      cddbgenre
		     synonym for category

	      all    parse file and dumps to stdout in a  form	sourceable  by
		     the shell

       send [file] address

       Mails  file  file (or stdin of no file specified) to specified address,
       using correct format.  Category should  be  one	of  blues,  classical,
       country, data, folk, jazz, newage, reggae, rock, soundtrack, misc.

       template [disc-id] [tracks]

       Generates  a  template  (empty)	cddb file to stdout.  The command line
       should be essentially the output of cd-discid.

       query [server] [user] [host] [disc-id] [tracks]

       Looks up disc on server (should be of form "http://host/cddb/cddb.cgi")
       remainder  of  command line is in the same form as that returned by the
       cd-discid program. Uses wget, so if you need to use a proxy  then  just
       configure  wget	to  do	so. user and host will be used for identifying
       ourselves to the CDDB server. Outputs response code  and	 entries  with
       matching CDDB entries, if successful, from the CDDB server.

       read [server] [user] [host] [disc-id] [genre]

       Dumps CDDB entry to stdout. File will contain an extra #CATEGORY= line,
       which leaves it a valid CDDB file but which will be recognized by parse
       and  send  commands. Uses wget, so if you need to use a proxy then just
       configure wget to do so. user and host will  be	used  for  identifying
       ourselves to the CDDB server.

       help

       Prints usage information.
