This is a simple Python script to convert a FreeDB format database into XML. The
main use for it is simply to create sample data for testing native XML databases
when the data needs to be more then just non-sense. The FreeDB database can be
downloaded from http://www.freedb.org/

There is a default driver included that expects a FreeDB database to be
available under cddb. It is likely that you'll want to modify the default driver
or just write your own. 

Once you have a FreeDB database you can run run the sample driver by typing.

   python convert.py

The XML format generated is very simple. For the following CDDB file

# xmcd

# Track frame offsets:
#	150
#	210627
#
# Disc length: 2952 seconds
