    Which creates a fun, but, sometimes irritating, game to play. It's
    called "beat the CDDB." When you check for a CD, and you don't get a
    hit you've won! But, for us and our obscure CD collections we may
    have some unfair competition, certainly my French hip-hop stuff got
    few hits when I first checked them.
