Well, that's right. But I would not ever recommend cdindex-client. It
depends heavily on netscape and it not suitable for parsing. Second, the
URL which is hardcoded into cdindex-client does not exist anymore.

I suggest that we write our own client code to query freedb.org for
information about the CD. It seems to be almost trivial.
