CDDB Database Update Frequency?

I'm an independent artist and I just finished my solo album. I uploaded the track information immediately to CDDB. I inserted the CD back into the same computer, the track information displayed properly. Since it might've been cached, I inserted the CD into a different computer. The track information didn't load and CDDB displayed albums from other bands but I couldn't find mine listed (only ~15 were displayed). How long do I have to wait until my album is included in the list?

Or did is it usually immediate, meaning that I didn't upload properly?

Philip,

It simply takes from some hours up to some days until CDDB is updated with your uploadeedd information.

You also might consider uploading your data to MusicBrainz and FreeDB. These two organizations have a strong following and there are programs and scripts to let people use these databases to lookup their info rather than Gracenote.
