Class FuzzyLookup

java.lang.Object
  com.antelmann.cddb.FuzzyLookup

All Implemented Interfaces:

Serializable

public class FuzzyLookup
extends Object
implements Serializable

FuzzyLookup provides a mapping between CDID and CDDBRecord objects, to support inexact matches for FileCDDB queries. The mapping is based on previous lookups on FreeDB. The mapping is done simply by providing a list of other 'similar' discIDs given a specific discID. These discIDs can then be used to match CDID and CDDBRecords.

exportToFile

public void exportToFile(File file)
                  throws IOException

exports all map entries into a file. The map entries are represented as separate lines ('\n' terminated), while each line contains the keyDiscID + " " + simID1 + " " + simID2 ....
An existing file at the specified location will be overwritten if the file attributes permit this.

Throws:

IOException
