About:
cd-discid is a lightweight command-line utility that calculates the CDDB discID for an audio CD.

This allows applications to accurately look up CD metadata like artist, album, and track titles.

  • Outputs TOC information in a parseable format
  • Lightweight and fast command-line interface
  • Supports multiple CD-ROM drive formats
Use Cases:

  • Identifying CDs for metadata retrieval in custom applications
  • Verifying CD TOC data for archival purposes
Alternatives:
  • libdiscid – Library-based approach for developers, while cd-discid is a standalone CLI tool
