I've spent a bit of time looking into this further. Here's a question for you before I commit. Why _should_ cdcontrol have the ability to print this number? I've looked in vain at the cddb.com people's site and there is no obvious way to use the id number directly. They're depricating the cddb-v1 protocol and replacing it with a "sign the official NDA" version 2. In light of this there doesn't appear to be a reason to commit the changes. Do you disagree?
