That's exactly what the example code in cdlookup.cc does!

The documentation for the MusicBrainz web service is here:

https://wiki.musicbrainz.org/Development/XML_Web_Service/Version_2

This should be your starting point. Until you can generate queries in your
browser that return you the correct information, you're going to struggle to
do it using libmb. As I said in the last message, libmb is nothing but a
very thin wrapper around the data received from the web service.

If you have any specific questions, I'm more than happy to try and help.
