¿How can I do this? I don't find cache set in KControl :-(

It doesn't matter: I've have more than 2000 vinils and 500 cd's.

And I think put not all the files at same time to search; if I can search, for 
instance, 100 files, and after see artists ordered, I can erase the discs I 
not have. And previously, I can search artists I have in file's content.
It's hard work, but less than write one after one the vinils... :-)

Now, I've tried modifying tellicorc as:
===============
[ImportOptions - FreeDB]
CD-ROM Devices=/dev/cdrom,/dev/hdd,/dev/hdc,/Meus/7
Cache Files Only=false
Last Device=/Meus/7
===============

And I put in to /Meus/7 many files from freedb database.
I made import files from cd using this path, and I only see info about Pink 
Floyd, but all of the files refer to jazz music and any of them has info 
about Pink Floyd!!! 
¡Amazing!


> Maybe you can use the Yahoo Audio Search instead?


Searching from Yahoo or Amazon only offer 10 poor results.
For instance, I search George Benson and Stephane Grapelli: I've more than 10 
discs from itch one.... :-)


Another question: ¿Is it possible make a script to import the freedb files? 
¿Is his structure normalized?

Thanks in advance.
