Why XML? Let's be realistic here. 99% of users are going to just want disc
title, artist, and track names. Not to mention that I don't want to have
to write a stack-based parser just to be able to do disc lookup.
I'm partial to a simple format -- like the cdindex format that has already
been proposed and implemented. It's simple, and I could adapt my CDDB code
to use it in about 5 minutes.
The more bytes we put in a disc info entry, the fewer hits the server will
be able to handle.
