Great work! I use your plugin almost daily and I am very glad with it.

Sorry, but I am not very satisfied with that solution, CDDB lookups 
worked fine here, but do not work any longer for me with it!
Obviously, you suppose that everyone using this plugin has got a 
permanent internet connection, but I have only got an ISDN connection. 
With the script cddb.sh, I could automatically start a connection, fetch 
the required data and then close the connection every time an Audio-CD 
was played:

#!/bin/bash

iup
sleep 10
/usr/bin/cddb.pl -s
idown

This - as I think - very good solution does not seem to be possible any 
longer with the new parameters, unfortunately.
Do you know a way how making this still possible for me, or else could 
you please preserve the -R option in the mp3-plugin?

Best regards,

Matthias
