I'm thinking more along the lines of a library to do all the lookup
and parsing... something along the lines of a set of function calls to
actually generate a query (as well as a submission) that return a
pointer to a struct which contains all the CD information. That way,
player developers don't have to code all the actual parsing or lookups
at all, they just push a button, the library calls initiate the http
(or whatever) connect and return the data. They just go off and use
it.
