Install xmcd, it comes witha bunch of command line based tools.

so you can easily grab the CDDB tracklist into perl and then do what you
want.  You _could_ stuff the data info a for post it to the website you
mention above and grab the output etc etc.

Sorry I don't have a URL for xmcd handy, it packaged in debian and should be
easy to find with google.
