I think cdtool is meant to be able to do this, though I've not tried
it because all my CDs are either physical (with sleeves) or burned
from my own recordings. So I don't know how good it is at querying
remote databases like Musicbrainz.

Nowadays I use cdtool mainly for playing CDs on a headless PC
automagically via udev. Its internal CD player has an analogue
3.5mm output connection to my hifi amplifier's input.
