Mathew and list: You probably already know this, but for those new to Cdex
(unless they've changed it) Cdex doesn't put the track info in right out of
the box; it apparently needs to be "set up" to do this; this is one thing I
noticed about Windows Media; it'll put at least the titles in; or that's how
it worked for me anyhow!

Subject: Re: recovering cd track information
Hmm, perhaps this is not a store-bought cd? If it is though, then go
into the menu bar, specifically the cddb menu, and choose a few of those
options there. Each one will activate and then take you out of the menu
bar, so you'll be trying one at a time, and maybe one of those databases
will pull up the artist and title info. If you get this to work, and one
database works more than the others, then go and set that as your primary
database lookup in the settings. The settings can be easily reached by
hitting F4. Also, when you have the artist and title the way you want it,
F9 extracts the cd tracks into mp3, and F8 extracts into .wav format.
You'll want to use the settings area to customize the quality of the mp3s
though, so go through the settings pages first before extracting a cd onto
the computer. One other note though. By default, it's set to extract all
of the cd tracks on the cd. If you go exploring down the track list, it
unselects everything, and only the item you're on will then have focus.
Just be aware of that, if you actually did mean to extract all of the
tracks.
