CDDB Buddy

CDDB Buddy is a Macintosh runtime database. You do not need any commercial database software in order to be able to use CDDB Buddy.

CDDB Buddy works with your choice of one of two CDDB client programs - InCDius GH or TitleTrack. Take your pick. Each client supports different features (see Help in CDDB Buddy for a brief review of the differences in the clients).

CDDB Buddy allows you to store a tremendous amount of information on each CD or MP3 Playlist. This includes (for each CD or MP3 playlist):
