[wplug] freecddb aware programs to insert and update entries

Hey,

I've recently found a few cd's which are not currently in the cddb. In the
past I've used kscd (the cd player that comes with kde) to add the metadata
about unknown cds into freecddb's database. Today I accidentally uploaded a
cd's metadata, but I was off by a track -- so the track info is basically
wrong for a lot of the tracks. From the freecddb faq [1], it is possible
for programs to update this metadata: the faq suggests using emptytree
seedy and gtcd. I tried the emptytree thing and I couldn't get it to work
on redhat 9. As for gtcd, I'm not really sure what package gtcd comes with.
Does anyone know a program that will easily allow me to update and insert
metadata into the freecddb?
