SYNOPSIS

9       cd-discid [devicename]
10

DESCRIPTION

12       In order to do CDDB queries over the Internet, you must know the DiscID
13       of the CD you are querying.  cd-discid provides you with that  informa‐
14       tion.  It outputs the discid, the number of tracks, the frame offset of
15       all of the tracks, and the total length of the CD in  seconds,  on  one
16       line  in a space-delimited format.  cd-discid was designed as a backend
17       tool for cdgrab (now abcde) but will work independently of it.
