CDs (especially personal collections) often contain CD
text which is more reliable than freedb since it was
included by the CD creator. So grip should read this
information primarily and as a option allow the freedb
fetch.

    Hear Hear! I don't think ANY Linux CD players do this --
    Grip should lead the way!

    cdrdao reads CD-TEXT, so I think that could be called for
    reading this information. Or reuse his source code as
    developers sees.

    audex does read cd text (Unfortunately, audex (currently 0.80) seems to fail ripping CDs regularly).

    You can read CD text using libcdio. I hacked together a small program which attempts to read the disc title, artist plus track titles from CD text, based on what is done in cdda-player (http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/libcdio.git/tree/src/cdda-player.c ; part of libcdio; https://www.gnu.org/software/libcdio/). It's about 130 lines of non-tidied C code. It would be handy if this could be integrated as an option to grip (i.e. prefer cddb-lookup/prefer cd-text).
    If I find time (which is not too likely), I will have a look at the grip code to see how easily this could be integrated).
