The CDDB sounds like what you want.  I used grip to rip my collection
of CDs to MP3, and almost all of the disks were automatically recognized,
named and filed.  I use Zina to provide a web interface to the MP3
collection (now over 19,000 tracks from over 1500 disks and NOTHING 
from any downloads).

My only complaint?  The fact that the collection's alphabetized by
artist first name, not last, or band names filed under "The".  I can
live with that :)

Grip is part of the Planet, and zina is at
