How do I turn on/off the automatic CDDB Music Browser feature?

See the autoMusicBrowser parameter in your XMCDLIB/config/common.cfg file. You may change it in that file (which affects all xmcd users on the system), or you may put that parameter in your $HOME/.xmcdcfg/common.cfg file. On xmcd 3.2.0 and later, you may simply click the “Options” button on the main window (tools symbol), select the “CDDB & CD-Text” category in the pop-up window, then select the appropriate toggle button under “Music Browser”. Click “Save” to save the setting. Xmcd’s wwwWarp feature works, but I prefer to have it invoke a different web browser than the one it’s using. See the WEB file in your xmcd documentation about defining the BROWSER_PATH environment variable to specify a browser to use.
