Sometimes there's no CDDB file available for a piece of music. For example, when you created a collection of tracks from other albums. In this case, a text file containing the name of the artist / album, followed by a mere list of the track titles can be used as a fall-back.
CDDB::Fake implements a part of the CDDB::File API based on manually crafted fall-back files.
I've adopted the convention to name files with CDDB data C<.cddb>, and the fake data C<.nocddb>.
For example, you can cut the results of a search at Gracenote (cddb.com) and paste it into the file .nocddb. For example:
Birelli Lagrene / Standards
The titles may be optionally followed by trailing TABs and a MM:SS time indicator.
A tool is included to generate a fake file from the names of the files in the directory.
