what the fuck is wrong with CDDB? Was it hax0red or is it just that complete morons submit cd info to their database? Just about every time I use it there are lots of mistakes and typos, and occasionally they are totally messed up (like track names being mixed up, etc).

That's because people submit their own info to the database if it's not there already -- people who often can't spell or transcribe.

When 1337 hax0rs start impaling each other with swords and typing code with a hook on one hand, then they can modify the term "pirate."

I remember the days when the phrase "IBM compatible" actually meant something

CDDA is how your system reads the audio data from the disc. CDDB is the online database of album and song titles/artists.
