Hey, this is funny.
I couldn't resist to give it a try and we need a few changes:

  - it's %2c otherwise nearly all my CD's are "good", but sure I also have bad ones :)
  - remove the node first, cause get_cddb() dies and leaves the old one there
  - remove spaces in name, cause this is our separator

/udev/
|-- The_Cure-The_Peel_Sessions
|-- cdrom -> ./The_Cure-The_Peel_Sessions
|-- hda
|-- hda1
|-- hda2
|-- hda4

thanks,
Kay
