If some are interested, a little gui to leechmp3 querycddb (as is) 
(you have to set parameters - leechmp3 path, a valid email address according gnudb  rules, specify drive letter and optional output file)

Hello Remy.

I haven't work with CD Ripping to MP3 in years.
- Can you please explain me a little bit what does cddbGUI does?
- Does it requires LeechMP3_3-70.exe and QueryCDDB_2001-12-18.zip ?

Regards

Hi Martin,

Only needs  LeechMP3_3-70.exe which includes under package 1 querycddb.exe
Rxutilex dll required

It only allow you to get metadatas / track tiltles with the possibility to select the right found entry of those existing into the database.
under parameters:
Update userid and host ( both together making it your email address - note: "anonymous" "yahoo.com" may work but this is out of gnudb rules and not be used )

Select for the output Use discid ( making the output file compatible as is with coming v2.1.0 AVxCAT or already compatible with v2 after edit/save of the output file copied under AVxCAT cddb lib folder - e.g. can be used instead of cdda2wav results )
or no change which will use default name cddb.out
If none is checked > output file can be renamed to any name using the corresponding field.
The result is saved under the specified "To path"
Specify leechmp3 path
Do not change gnudb database and its port used.
Set drive letter to the one you use for your CD player.
Insert CD
Press run -> querycddb is called
The list of found entries is listed.
If none ! nothing more to do
If one, verifiy entry (stop can be done or without action (tracks / metadatas are get after a max wait time of 5s)
If more than one entry !
Select the right one (the one which seems to be the correct entry for you) - click on the numbered line with title entry
In none are good, click on the abort line
Selection has to be done in a max time of 2'15 minutes or request is canceled to prevent put remote server into timeout state
(remote server has a timeout of 2'30)
Once done, all information are saved into the output file (click on the line having where saved INTO exist to view/edit the result)
A second file is created including the cddb query string usefull for other kind of queries (API, web services...)
This string has: FreeDB discid (usable on Brainz), number of tracks, tracks offsets and time as last number.

From the screen copy, I see that a miss alignment exist under you screen size (will correct it)
Regards
Remy

Note: If result seems to be helpfull and easy to use like this, a lighter code could be integrated into AVxCAT as an alternative cddb request choice or a get cover option into this GUI.

link: GUI refreshed (some rexutil dll not loaded as expected under cddbgui.exe)

AVxCAT (minor update):  https://remydodin.levillage.org/doc/realisations/downloads/AVXCAT_S-2_1_0_3.wpi
Debug:
- AVxCAT isn't visible after start and init process is done => possible corrupted ini file, delete AVXCAT.INI and redo settings
- Some process not working as expected => try settings Threads to 1     

note: libcddb required - This package will be set as GA 2.1.0 build while future build may use querycddb as main cddb query process before current processes       

Update: Added FP2 (correcting incorrout when multilines for an album tittle or a track tittle exist into cddbGUI output file used as cddb database).   

FP5 available: Use help -> AVXCAT get update
