SYNOPSIS

DESCRIPTION
In order to do CDDB queries over the Internet, you must know the DiscID of
the CD you are querying.
cd-discid
provides you with that information. It outputs the discid, the number of
tracks, the frame offset of all of the tracks, and the total length of the
CD in seconds, on one line in a space-delimited format.

abcde)
but will work independently of it.
