I think they're called ISSN as well.
I forget what it stands for, but it's a more standard designation, ISBN 
being book specific.
But I'm not 100% sure.

Since the CDDB is not open source, why not use the CDIndex method, as was 
recommend back in the archives.
The guy who runs cdindex.org (I think) has another way of doing it, similar 
to the CDDB way of dong it.  He recommended the XML spec for the MetaData, too.

Just an idea.
