[iTunes] Where are the CDDB data stored?

[MatFox]

As I had to reinstall OS X.2 completely (damn 2.8!) when I insert a Cd in
iTunes now the CDDB data aren't appearing anymore.

As I still have all the files of my previous installation (txs to the Previous
System install), I might recover that file and substitute it with the actual
one.

Can anyone tell me where such file could be?

txs a lot.

I may ahve misssed the point but why dont yu select the unnamed tracks
and from advanced in the menu bar go and get the names again from CDDB
when connected.

I thought the CDDB data wasn't stored on the computer. When you insert a
cd and have the CDDB enabled, it goes and gets the names/data.

Only when you import into your library does it all get saved but saved
to the individual files.

iTunes keeps a local cache. This is used not only for data from the
cddb server but also for entries made locally.

Only if an entry can't be found in the cache.

Because lots of CD don't exist on CDDB, and I had inserted all the data
manually.
But anyway on uk.comp.sys.mac I have had my answer!

New question: would it accompish anything to copy that over to the
main library? Seems like a waste for the computer to have to go
and get that information all over again because someone _else_
has logged in today.
