I have found using Amazon alone generally good enough for a squeezebox touch display so I didn't bother looking any harder, but the above looks great for filling in the gaps in your collection.
For scripting purposes the trickiest bit is getting the right search terms. The cddb title/artist doesn't always match how it's listed on Amazon or others, particularly for more unusual stuff or for EPs and so on. I would say about 70% of discs I've ripped go straight through he process and get the right metadata and correct album art without any further intervention though. Perhaps someone should extended CD Red Book to include a metadata segment where artworks and a PDF of the booklet could be embedded.. (I recently updated to an in-car CD player (the tape player broke about 10 years ago..) and was amazed to find it actually reads CD-Text for titles and artist..!) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ drmatt's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=59498 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=105070 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
