cddb ID
Hi,

I'm working on mythtv.

I tought about a feature that I think is missing in the CD RIPPING code : The
ability to keep track of the original cddb id.

That way we might later update the database if there are updates on the cddb
site to correct mistakes.
We might add a cddb id field to the database, it wouldn't be big addition and
it would allow us for example to later add a picture of the album being
played or anyt service that might be created based on the id later.


What do think of this ?

Cheers,


Christian

Sure, if you want to add that to the database, go right ahead. The easiest
way would probably be to add it per-track, but you could also make an 'album'
table, and associate tracks and stuff like the cddb id to that.
