cddb/freedb for existing collections of wav files?

Hi,

I have many directories each of which consists of the tracks ripped
from a single CD with cdparanoia. At the time, I didn't think to use
jack or some other nice program that renames the tracks according to
cddb/freedb data.

My question: Is there any tool (preferably command line) that can take
a directory containing the complete set of tracks:

   track001.wav
   track002.wav
   ...
   track009.wav

and perform a cddb lookup, renaming the tracks accordingly?

I tried reading the manual for cddbcmd but could not see how to do it.

Many thanks,
James
