The algorithm is described <A HREF="http://www.freedb.org/modules.php?name=Sections&sop=viewarticle&artid=6" REL="nofollow">here</A>.<BR/>Queries to the database allow for a certain amount of fuzziness, which might account for it working despite your track marks being a few seconds different.<BR/>But ultimately it must be that someone else has gone through the same process as you *and* bothered to upload the result to freedb. Quite the coincidence.<BR/>yours, b.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
