# The "DiscDB" config tab

This tab allows to you customize how Grip talks to disc information servers (such as freedb) to obtain disc meta-data.

Figure 8. The "DiscDB" config tab

- `Primary/Secondary Server` — Grip allows you to configure a primary and secondary disc database server. If information cannot be found using the primary server, Grip will then try using the secondary server.

- `DB server` — This is the http address of the disc database server.

- `DB server` — This is the path to the CGI to be used on the disc database server. It is generally "~cddb/cddb.cgi".

- `DB Submit email` — This allows you to specify the email address to send disc database submissions to.

- `Use freedb extensions` — If checked, Grip will make use of extensions to the disc database format used by freedb. Otherwise, it will use an older format.

- `Perform disc lookups automatically` — If this option is checked, Grip will automatically query the disc database server when a disc is inserted that does not already have meta-data stored.
