Read CD TOC at server side

Hi,

Working on a project to catalogue my cd collection as I want it, I was
wondering if it is possible to read the toc of a cd at the server's side
so I can get the cd information from freedb.

Thanks in advance, Maarten

ps. In case I can't and somebody knows a windows command line program
which can pass the output to php it would be of much help.

What do you mean by "table of contents"?
What are you really trying to do?

Do you want something like the output of  "dir" command in a text file?
For example, "dir E:\ /a/o/s > CD00001.txt

Please clarify, in detail, what the output you want should look like.

Also, what is "freedb"?  Okay, I looked it up: http://www.freedb.org/

"1.1. What is freedb?

freedb is a database to look up CD information using the internet.
This is done by a client (a freedb aware application) which calculates
a (nearly) unique disc ID for a CD in your CD-Rom and then queries
the database. As a result, the client displays the artist, CD-title,
tracklist and some additional info."

Ah, so you have a collection of "audio" (not Data) CD's.

And, at Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freedb --
"freedb is a database of compact disc track listings"
