Hi all,

I'm a developer for Acoustica, whose CD Burner product is due to be 
released this month with freedb support.  Here's a question one of you may 
be able to answer that's sort of related to the schema discussion (if not, 
feel free to tell me to go away and I'll repost with a different subject 
*grin*).

I pull a disc ID from the TOC of a CD and go query freedb with it.  The DB 
gives me two possible choices for the album... both use the same artist, 
title, and genre (which is confusing to the user to begin with), but each 
has a different disc ID and none of them match the original disc ID.  If 
the search is based on the disc ID, how is it that A) I'm finding other 
records that do not have my disc ID, and B) why do none of the results 
returned have my disc ID?  Incidentally, if I grab the track times and 
calculate the disc ID myself, I get the same ID that's in the TOC of the CD.

Thanks!
