If a program uses FreeDB, it's probably because they don't want to pay Gracenote for the privalege of using their CD database (The CDDB, which is all user-donated CD track information, which they then turn around and sell back to you. Nice!)

Even with free programs like Winamp and Media Player, the authors have to pay Gracenote a royalty for using their database.

The more people who use FreeDB, the better it gets, so I try and use it all the time.
