AFAIK, I did not break that, but I already re-added on my hard disk!

Its already there. If you set the disk artist to "Various" (as the protocol 
requires, and as the tooltip hints :-)), an extra column will appear in the 
dialog.

I'll think about that.

The CDDB database is indexed by { category, disc id } where category is a list 
of 11 fixed strings. The genre is a free-format string.

Good idea.

Agreed in principle, however, at the moment, I am only sharing the "base 
widget". I hope to have a versions of kaudiocreator and kscd to check in 
soon...with nearly all the CD reading and CDDB reading logic exactly the 
same. Then I'll figure out if it is worth hiding all that inside libkcddb.

Thanks for the feedback, Shaheed
