Hello,

My music collection consists of both digital music and physical CDs.  When =
I play the digital files, which are appropriately tagged, EMMS of course sh=
ows me the metadata---artist, title, etc.  When I play a CD, however, out o=
f the box, it doesn't.  If I choose to play a CD with VLC, I can see track =
info courtesy of VLC's "Allow metadata network access" option.  How could I=
 get EMMS to show me CD track info?  I'm very much a beginner with Elisp.

I'm using Emacs 30.2 on Arch.

Thanks,

Andrew Chung
