Hi,

I've got a CD set as a christmas present and was motivated to look into the
issue. I managed to put something working together using the musicbrainz
C/C++ libs. The result can be seen in this PR: https://github.com/MythTV/
mythtv/pull/834. It pulls metadata and coverart for an audio CD and displays
that when playing the CD with the CD autoplay feature of MythMusic.

Ciao Jan
