Well, you are right. If you put a CD in your CD player and if you are connected 
to the
net, it also goes somewhere to a CD database and fetch the song names, thanks 
to that
unique code.

But the question: what is that unique code ? Where to read id ?

This is not possible yet. You can only provide one keyword for the search, even 
if the
keyword contains some " " characters.
Well, we are rather working on the gnome2 port and the internals, but if 
someone wants
to code it, I'm sending this to the mailing list too :)
