Access 2000 Lookup music CD contents from a Web Service with VBA

[Guest]

In my Access 2000 database, I have a form that uses VBA code to look up the
number of tracks on a CD and the total time of the CD. Now, I was wondering
if there was a way to use VBA or API's to go out to the Internet and download
the Artist/Title/Track Song Titles/etc... of what is on the CD, much like
Windows Media Player does if you are connected to the Internet.

Has anyone done this and can provide sample code?

Take a look at www.freedb.org or www.gracenote.com

What am I supposed to be looking for there?

On www.gracenote.com, I don't think is what I am looking for to accomplish
this.

Unless Gracenote has changed significantly since I looked into it,
http://www.gracenote.com/developer/app_licensing.html should get you
information about how you can access the information in their database.

At FreeDB, start at

FWIW, it's not a trivial exercise.
