Or from the linux command line for that matter.

I've ripped everything and now I want to sell it or give it away on a freecycle type site, without having to catalogue them all manually. What's the easiest way of going about it? Is there a little piece of software to do it for me? All I need it Artists and Albums.

I think media Monkey can do that for you. Not 100% as I haven't done it (or had the need to) but its a nifty piece of softawre for this type of thing

I know in iTunes you can export your library to an XML file, I'd be shocked if there wasn't something similar for Linux.

<EDIT>

One quick google later, try this: http://cdcat.sourceforge.net/

what exactly is a CD Catalogue? I mean it is a standardised format that can be open in loads of different apps?

Also whats a "freecycle type site"?

It's a catalogue. Of CD's. :)

Just a list really, call it a database if you like.

Here's Freecycle on Wikipedia. I won't like to the actual site cos the guy at the top of it is a litigious scumbag.
