CDDB DISCID
|
|
-----------
|
|
|
|
Both forms of CDDB access require that the software compute a "disc
|
|
ID" which is an identifier that is used to access the CDDB. The disc
|
|
ID is a 8-digit hexadecimal (base-16) number, computed using data from
|
|
a CD's Table-of-Contents (TOC) in MSF (Minute Second Frame) form. The
|
|
algorithm is listed below in Appendix A.
|
|
|
|
It is crucial that your software compute the disc ID correctly. If it
|
|
does not generate the correct disc ID, it will not be compatible with CDDB.
|
|
Moreover, if your software submits CDDB entries with bad disc IDs to the
|
|
CDDB archives, it could compromise the integrity of the CDDB.

((cdtoc[0].min * 60) + cdtoc[0].sec);

return ((n % 0xff) << 24 | t << 8 | tot_trks);

{
|

int tot_trks;
|
|
|
|
tot_trks = read_cdtoc_from_drive();
|
|
printf("The discid is %08x", cddb_discid(tot_trks));
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
|
|
This code assumes that your compiler and architecture support 32-bit
|
|
integers.
|
|
|
|
The cddb_discid function computes the discid based on the CD's TOC data
|
|
in MSF form. The frames are ignored for this purpose. The function is
|
|
passed a parameter of tot_trks (which is the total number of tracks on
|
|
the CD), and returns the discid integer number.
|
|
|
|
It is assumed that cdtoc[] is an array of data structures (records)
|
|
containing the fields min, sec and frame, which are the minute, second
|
|
and frame offsets (the starting location) of each track. This
|
|
information is read from the TOC of the CD. There are actually
|
|
tot_trks + 1 "active" elements in the array, the last one being the
|
|
offset of the lead-out (also known as track 0xAA).
|
|
|
|
The function loops through each track in the TOC, and for each track
|
|
it takes the (M * 60) + S (total offset in seconds) of the track and
|
|
feeds it to cddb_sum() function, which simply adds the value of each digit
|
|
in the decimal string representation of the number. A running sum of this
|
|
result for each track is kept in the variable n.
|
|
|
|
At the end of the loop:
|
|
1. t is calculated by subtracting the (M * 60) + S offset of the lead-out
|
|
minus the (M * 60) + S offset of first track (yielding the length of
|
|
the disc in seconds).
|
|
|
|
2. The result of (n modulo FFh) is left-shifted by 24 bits.
|
|
|
|
3. t is left shifted by 8.
|
|
|
|
The bitwise-OR operation of result 2., 3. and the tot_trks number is
|
|
used as the discid.
|
|
|
|
The discid is represented in hexadecimal form for the purpose of
|
|
xmcd cddb file names and the DISCID= field in the xmcd cddb file itself.
|
|
If the hexadecimal string is less than 8 characters long, it is
|
|
zero-padded to 8 characters (i.e., 3a8f07 becomes 003a8f07). All
|
|
alpha characters in the string should be in lower case, where
|
|
applicable.
|
|
|
|
Important note for clients using the MS-Windows MCI interface:
|
|
|
|
The Windows MCI interface does not provide the MSF location of the
|
|
lead-out. Thus, you must compute the lead-out location by taking the
|
|
starting position of the last track and add the length of the last track
|
|
to it. However, the MCI interface returns the length of the last track
|
|
as ONE FRAME SHORT of the actual length found in the CD's TOC. In most
|
|
cases this does not affect the disc ID generated, because we truncate
|
|
the frame count when computing the disc ID anyway. However, if the
|
|
lead-out track has an actual a frame count of 0, the computed quantity
|
|
(based on the MSF data returned from the MCI interface) would result in
|
|
the seconds being one short and the frame count be 74. For example,
|
|
a CD with the last track at an offset of 48m 32s 12f and having a
|
|
track length of 2m 50s 63f has a lead-out offset of 51m 23s 0f. Windows
|
|
MCI incorrectly reports the length as 2m 50s 62f, which would yield a
|
|
lead-out offset of 51m 22s 74f, which causes the resulting truncated
|
|
disc length to be off by one second. This will cause an incorrect disc
|
|
ID to be generated. You should thus add one frame to the length of the
|
|
last track when computing the location of the lead-out.
|
|
|
|
The easiest way for Windows clients to compute the lead-out given information
|
|
in MSF format is like this:
|
|
|
|
(offset_minutes * 60 * 75) + (offset_seconds * 75) + offset_frames +
|
|
(length_minutes * 60 * 75) + (length_seconds * 75) + length_frames + 1 = X
|
|
|
|
Where X is the offset of the lead-out in frames. To find the lead-out in
|
|
seconds, simply divide by 75 and discard the remainder.
