Can somebody give me a pointer to where kscd stores the freedb data for CDs please? I have around 200 audio CDs which I have already fetched details on another OS and I'd like to have the same details available in Linux but would prefer not to have to download them all again.

Oh. It's Mandrake 9 in case it's important.

TIA.

locate kscd

gives:-

/usr/share/apps/kscd/cddb /usr/share/apps/kscd/cddb/blues /usr/share/apps/kscd/cddb/classical /usr/share/apps/kscd/cddb/country /usr/share/apps/kscd/cddb/data /usr/share/apps/kscd/cddb/folk /usr/share/apps/kscd/cddb/jazz /usr/share/apps/kscd/cddb/misc /usr/share/apps/kscd/cddb/newage /usr/share/apps/kscd/cddb/reggae /usr/share/apps/kscd/cddb/rock /usr/share/apps/kscd/cddb/soundtrack

The format is this (with the filename being the same as the disc ID):-
