MCDP - how to configure access to CDDB

I'm rarely playing CDs, because I usually rip the ones I want access to. Nevertheless it's neat to have some options, so I tested MCDP and it behaves exactly as I want it to.

Anyway, after reading the man-page and searching the Internet I still don't get it: how do I configure its access to CDDB? It looks like a project where a lot of insiders figured it out, but decided to keep it secret.

Man page:

ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES
       CDDA_DEVICE   Reserved or later
       CDROM         Try this cdrom as default (if unset, CDROM_DEFAULT
                     from params.h is used).
       CDDB_PATH     path to your local cddb files (if unset, _no_ cddb titelinfo
                     is displayed)
       CDDB_SERVER   IP:PORT of a freedb server (if unset, only local cddb
                     stuff is used, if it exists in $CDDB_PATH/$discid).
       LOGNAME       Is used for remote cddb login.
       HOSTNAME      Is used for remote cddb login too.

FILES
       $HOME/.workmandb   Is used (first) for reading wmdb entries.
       $CDDB_PATH/*       Is used for reeading/writing cddb entries.

But I don't get it. If anyone uses and knows please give me a hint or two!
