Wandora's FreeDB extractor converts freedb database entries to a topic map. Freedb is a huge database of CD information. Freedb database contains disc titles, artists, track names, and disc genres for example. Database's license is GPL General Public License. Freedb can be downloaded at
To start Wandora's FreeDB extractor select File > Extract > FreeDB extractor... and point the database entry files or database entry folder. The database contains over 2.5 million entries and you can't extract all that data to a memory topic map. Memory topic map suits only for partial extractions. To extract the whole database you need to use a database topic map.
See Wandora's sample folder for an example of FreeDB extraction. Freedb database format specification may help you to understand the conversion process.
