  That's is also a good idea.
  I vote for it because I feel a little bit weird
  to put the cddb setting into the global Preferences.app.
  So which domain and key should we use in GNUstepDefault ?
  NSSound and CddbServer ?
  I would like something other than NSSound domain.
  We can have a shared domain, ex. GSMultiMedia ? GSSoundApplication ?
  to put the common setting in it.

  And since MusicBox and GSburn already use the same preference as GNUMail,
  I have a preference for freedb already:
  http://www.people.virginia.edu/~yc2w/GNUstep/english/freedb/freedbpref.jpg
  (the interface is in Chinese).
  GSburn can use it directly.

  I should be able to release the cddb.bundle soon...
