Credit goes to:

• - Ti Kan (ti@amb.org) for creating cddb, the CD database, and coming up with the idea of using the Internet to give users access to the database. His prototype is the basis for cddbd.
• - Steve Scherf (steve@moonsoft.com) for creating the cddbd-server-software. Without his effort, freedb would not be.
