Note: If you wish, you may delete cd_db0.txt to cd_db4.txt
to start your database from scratch. But do NOT delete
cd_comp.txt (the composer's database). If you do delete
the data in cd_db?.txt and you happen to have one of the CDs
already in my database, you'll have to re-enter its data.
If you keep these files, you might be lucky: who knows, you
and I may have some of the same albums!
