http://vgmdb.net/cddb?cmd=cddb+query...=jprjr&proto=6

That returns an entry for the Sonic R Soundtrack, and of course I can grab the CDDB tracklist at http://vgmdb.net/cddb?cmd=cddb+read+...=jprjr&proto=6

I'd love for my script to be able to figure out the VGMdb album ID once I have a successful lookup.

I noticed the "genre" was returned as Soundtrack1967, and most results seem to have a unique "genre" value - is there a way to extract the ID from that? In this case the album ID for Sonic R is 1646.

Alternatively, maybe the EXTD field in the "cddb read" response could include the VGMdb album ID? Something like EXTD= VGMID: 1646

If there's concern about existing clients not understanding the EXTD field, it could probably be placed in a comment field.

Thank you so much in advance, and thank you so much for this service like, as a whole.
