  And for those that really do think if it aint-e-lisp, its crap, here's a
first pass at cddb.el.  It can use cdda2wav or cdparanoia to get the TOC
from the CD, computes the discid, and can either look up the CD in a local
CDDB database, or do it remotely.  It even works through my socks.el stuff, 
wheee. :)

  Try evaluating (cddb-get-entry) when you have a CD in the drive.  It will
pull back the XMCD style info.  Next on the list is actually parsing this
out.  I want to eventually have a suite of elisp scripts that will just
take a CD, convert the whole damn thing to mp3, and create an appropriate
.XAM file (the xaudio album format).

  Or perhaps just go all the way and write an MP3 player in elisp and make
the playlists, etc, controllable via custom, and album files in a nice easy 
to (read ...) format.

  Any interest? :)
