Loading CD/SACD database

[braver]

I'd like to use Xlobby to control my Sony DVP-CX777ES changer full of SACDs. Before there's CDDB/AMG access with RS232C to the CDs in the changer, I'm thinking of either using http://www.readerware.com/ with a CueCat I keep from old days of the Wired magazine, or biting the bullet and manually populating a database from http://www.sa-cd.net/ -- at least it has good cover art for all SACDs.

The question is, as a computer guy, I can massage the database into any format, -- how would I feed it to xlobby so I can click on SACD images both on a Tablet PC and on a Pocket PC? And, what kind of vieweing is available -- most of all I want various views of the collection to help me pick an SACD to listen to.

I don't have any good ideas on how to populate your database, you might check this thread related to DVD's with a changer:

However you end up populating your database you can use the standard Xlobby xml music database format/fields which would allow you to sort by genre, artist, albumname, year. You could also modifiy this to include any other metainfo you want to search by. Once the database is populated and in the Xlobby database folder you'll be able search/view the cd's with their coverart.

I went ahead and created a couple Xlobby coverart spiders for SA-CD.net and ElusiveDisc.com for those hard to find multichannel titles:
