It will get fixed when someone that cares enough looks at it...

Finally remove the non-working "CDDB CD info" from the features list.

I was able to get VLC to read the CDDB info from my home-burned CD of mp3 files when I did the following from the menu:

Media
Open Folder
select the drive with the CD of interest

I have not tested this method on a commercial CD but I'm guessing it will work. At the moment I'm feeling too lazy to fetch a commercial cd from the next room.

If I open a Audio CD by "Open Folder...", VLC does not play anything at all. Neither in 1.1.11 nor in 1.2.0-20110925.

I also failed with an Audio CD. Earlier I had used Open Folder on a data CD. I apologize for my newbie posting.
