A TOC could be built from acoustIDs with a simple list…

{ index => acoustID }

So a complete acoustID-TOC would look something like this

{ 01 => 1b6f48e9-f318-4674-90a1-4299ddc4c9e1,
  02 => ce741843-aa44-4abe-a6e6-bc36fc8b94c6,
  03 => 86c9a132-72ac-42e0-a4fc-eacdcfcba2f3,
  04 => 416d8a93-5a33-4bba-9b96-171856e95c5a,
  05 => edf50881-4927-4635-ac43-28ab51d000dc,
  06 => 93a30489-2cdb-467b-a4b3-632062f2de16,
  07 => 27fdd97d-695c-4564-a538-91664b9c0091,
  08 => 7bd211f3-c323-4658-b20c-ded602639400,
  09 => 5dc2bb66-e01d-4a6e-afbc-e842bd3fbf3e,
  10 => 56d82971-7206-4000-ad48-1f3f6bba34a5,
  11 => 35409bd7-4d10-4db1-9c9e-98b7f6fed597,
  12 => c186f09b-db28-4fd4-8d15-2c4c8b24b9cb,
  13 => 6fc1c15a-9357-4d8a-9dce-b706324f28f7,
  14 => 4f07962f-0e88-4231-9da6-d1ad89e20506,
  15 => 7feba6f4-73b0-4072-87f2-d267812529b5,
  16 => b9946c38-f439-4906-873b-b332811a0c42,
  17 => 6a5fe000-66a3-424b-a6bf-972738fc2a16,
  18 => a7301431-dd59-4e58-83e3-120fe3219467,

  19 => a72bac67-83a7-4044-a292-6257cad926f2,
  20 => 48ccdac1-ab1d-47df-8c30-c71fd188fc17,
  21 => 9175b8a3-769c-45ae-b82a-4c3ddfde90df,
  22 => 39e120ca-3e1a-4d65-99ed-7887dd6577fb,
  23 => e2394dd7-06b2-499c-ab0e-4a638f039f77,
  24 => 9d4a1d88-d17c-4f84-ad27-c7e922f6a797,

  25 => 8b08ff86-6ecf-4057-92cb-0efa5f451767
}

Note that the 'index' is *not* anything to do with the physical medium, i.e. index 1 above is not track 1 of a CD. It’s only for ordering; the query is, “what releases have the above fingerprints, in the above order?”. The index is necessary in case one of the recordings is skipped.
