cd-discid(1) - Linux man page
Name
cd-discid - read CD and get CDDB discid information
Synopsis
cd-discid [--musicbrainz] [devicename]
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.
- devicename
- CD-ROM block device name that contains the CD to be queried. If this option is omitted, the following device name is assumed:
- /dev/cdrom
- Linux and FreeBSD
- /dev/cd0a
- OpenBSD and NetBSD
- /dev/vol/aliases/cdrom0
- Solaris
- /dev/disk1
- MacOS X
- /dev/cd0
