Our community the Dawoodi Bohras regularly publishes CD’s whether they are from Sautul Iman or CD’s published by various zakereens or even audio CD’s containing nasihaats such as “Allah Taala na Hamd’, ‘Biraadar tu Nasihaat sun’.

What we lack is information about the tracks on the CD’s being published to sites such as Gracenote and FreeDB which would allow listeners from our community to download the track information and other metadata into their players.

Players such as iTunes make it very easy to enter the information into the Gracenote database and there are tons of tools which allow for entering the information into the FreeDB database.

This is a simple project for someone or a group of people who have the original CD’s to help provide accessible metadata to a wider audience. If your zakereen group has compiled a CD containing your group renditions of marthiya, you owe it to the mumineen you might be selling or gifting the CD that the track information is in both Gracenote and FreeDB.
