Totem can actually do musicbrainz lookup, but the way it does it is
different from SoundJucer, and doesn't work anywhere near as well - it
only works for ~30% of my CDs, whereas SJ works perfectly. Hopefully
sometime in the future SJ and Totem (and Rhythmbox, and anything else)
will all use the same code.
