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
