NAME

       cd-discid - read CD and get CDDB discid information

SYNOPSIS

       cd-discid [option...]

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.
       cd-discid was designed as a backend tool for cdgrab (now abcde) but will work independently of it.

OPTIONS

       --musicbrainz
              Output a TOC that is suitable for calculating the MusicBrainz disc id.

       --help Display a brief help message.

       --version
              Show the version.
