I've mentioned it but it's worth mentioning again. This is a very
underrated resource for essential trainspotting info.

You don't even need a player to query the database, which is huge. Not
everything is in it...yet, but you'd be surprised at some of the obscure
compilations that turn up. I just got thru IDing 250 CDs, and it only
missed 12 - most of those were CD singles. I use Notify CD (for Windows) -
sticking in a CD while online causes it to automatically query the
database, and it downloads the tracklistings and puts them in a local
database for offline use.
Go to www.cddb.com, type in a track name, artist name, album name,
whatever. It's EASIER than sending an email to this list. Of course, it
only works with CDs that have already been released.
I have only one complaint - the search engine is limited. You can't query
"sun electric" as a phrase, so you get lots of 60's psychedelic comps that
have "house of the rising sun" and "the electric prunes". Trying to find
"T Power" doesn't work at all.
