Libraries with hundreds, if not thousands, of songs would require you to manually enter the names of artists and titles, as well as other metadata information that is typically stored inside audio files. CDDB automates this process. But what types of software use CDDB?

The main types of applications that often use a CDDB for automatic music tagging include: Software media players: Popular programs such as iTunes (now Music), Windows Media Player, and VLC Media Player can use various online CDDBs to correctly name, tag, and organize digital audio files. If you use your favorite jukebox software program to rip audio CDs, it most likely has the ability to contact a CDDB server to identify the audio CD and fill in information about its contents. Standalone CD ripping software: If you prefer to use a software program for ripping CDs, it may have the option to use a CDDB.

Dedicated audio CD extraction tools are often fast, which is an advantage if you have several audio CDs to transfer and tag. Metadata tagging tools: You may have ripped many of your audio CDs without using a CDDB—either the software media player you used didn't have the ability or it was disabled.

However, you can use a metadata tagging tool to retroactively access a CDDB. Popular programs like MusicBrainz Picard and TigoTago use this method to tag files and group them into albums.

The closest the CD came to having music tags was with the invention of CD-Text. This was an extension of the Red Book CD format for storing certain attributes, but not all audio CDs had this encoded onto them. In any case, media players like iTunes/Music can&#39;t use this information.

CDDB was invented to make up for this lack of metadata when using audio CDs. Ti Kan (the inventor of CDDB) saw this shortfall in the audio CD design and initially developed an offline database in order to look up this information. The system was initially designed for a music player that he developed called XMCD, which was a combined CD player and ripping tool.

<h2> How Does the CDDB System Actually Work </h2> CDDB works by calculating a disc ID to accurately identify an audio CD. This is designed to give a unique profile of the whole disc. Rather than using a system that merely identifies single tracks, like CD-Text does, CDDB uses a disc-ID reference code so that software can query the CDDB server and download the attributes associated with the original CD.

Those attributes include the name of the CD, track titles, artist name, and more. To create a unique disc-ID for CDDB, an algorithm analyzes information on the audio CD such as how long each track is and in what order they play.
