But don't feel too bad for them now, they currently have a deal with Chrysler to provide a Gracenote DB to vehicles with the uConnect stereo head-unit so it can rip CD's right to HD inside the vehicle. >
:-) I'm going with General Motors for the latte maker. Gregory's tip got me on the right track. I downloaded the code for cdstatus, checked the freedb site, and have concluded that I have a configuration opportuiity either in a config file or in the compile. IOW, it'll have to wait until this evening, but I think I'm on the right track.
