xmcd, cddb, freedb
The xmcd CD database from Ti Kan is another idea of storing and sharing cd playlists. Besides the original program for linux you can find there links to Win95 cd-players using this database. The playlists can be updated via WWW but are not compatible to cdplayer.ini.
Meanwhile, the cddb databases are commercialized.
To ensure non-commercial, unrestricted sharing of xmcd compatible data freedb.org was founded. Some reasons for that are explained here.

Deluxe CD Player
Deluxe CD Player is a player shipped with MS PLUS! 98 and Windows 2000. It has an Access database, uses WWW-update but cannot read cdplayer.ini (except for "first run", see threeTIX FAQ). See the track'info'xchange' page for more.

Artist databases
Artist direct - the former The Ultimate Band List (UBL). Links and more links searchable by artist.
