I've been working on the same thing, but so far my calculated DiscID doesn't match the one cdlookup returns. > So with respect to fetching things from musicbrainz, I'm at > http://musicbrainz.org/cdindex/69WPuFcKSoXA4Trt1kY4tGSg6Vo- here with > my test disc/image.

Essentially, but it needs to go one level of detail deeper than the web page does. (when you're querying their server directly, you can specify how deep to go.) So the result you're looking for in this case would look like the example I've attached. > If so that means all that's left is some way of transforming a DiscID > into a GUID.

Sounds like you're on the right track. The only tricky bit is that to get both the album and the song detail, you have to query the server directly. (or at least I haven't found an easy way to do it through the web interface.) Now all you need to do it either stuff that xml into an application block in your flac, or modify slim server to recognise it external to your flac file. :) I hope that helps. -michael -- "I must create my own system, or be enslav'd by another man's" -William Blake
