Yes, sure, see my previous post. In KsCD in 4.1.4 there was an switch option.

Maybe its not the right answer, but I've to admit that the current version of 
KsCD is working better for me than the previous one. Now - with MusicBrainz - 
I get songs and artist titles. Since KDE 4.x. I have never seen them. Only  
Gnome apps and KDE 3.x - e.g. k3b - showed any titles.
