NAME
     cddbcvt - convert old (cdplayer) format CD database to new format

SYNOPSIS
     cddbcvt [ olddbfile [ newdbdir ] ]


DESCRIPTION
     cddbcvt takes a database file in the old format used by pre-4.0.5
     versions of cdplayer, and converts them to a CD database directory, as
     used by CDman and later versions of cdplayer.

     The optional argument olddbfile is the name of the database file you wish
     to convert. By default this is .cdplayerrc in the user's home directory.

     The optional argument newdbdir is the name of the directory in which to
     put the new database files. The directory will be created if it does not
     already exist. By default, this directory is .cddb in the user's home
     directory. This argument may only be supplied if the olddbfile argument
     is also provided.

     The new database need not be empty. If any converted database entries
     match entries which already exist in the new database, the entries will
     be left unmodified.
