This also gives us a leg up -- CDDB is notoriouslz difficult to work with and their licenses suck (as you decribed above) Rather than switching to CDDB2 and dealing with a new license I hope that the CD player folks will switch to the CD Index since it should be easier and there will be no need for any license with us.
