I don't know what it's using. I only know that when I ripped three or four
CDs with it, they weren't as well tagged up as they were when Winamp ripped
them. Now that may be because CDex doesn't use Gracenote, or if it does,
then it just doesn't implement the information it gets from Gracenote as
skillfully as Winamp does. Whichever the case, it just isn't as good at
naming and tagging files as Winamp was.

You're saying that CDEX is not using grasinet?

Thanks John, so what CD ripping program out there uses Gracenote? Or what CD
ripping program out there has a service as good as Gracenote? I know it
isn't CDex, because I've tried that one and it isn't as good at knowing what
CDs I tried it with as Winamp was. But if I can't use Winamp to rip CDs
until the end of the year at the earliest, (not if I don't want to have to
name and tag all the tracks by hand that is), then what do people suggest?
Thanks much.

Maybe there's some hope, but not for a while. As a correction to my last
post, I've been checking the Winamp developer's forum. AOL was going to shut
Winamp down last year but at the last minute Radionomy offered to buy it.
They are working on a new release but it won't be ready until at least the
end of the year. In the meantime Gracenote (who provide the tagging service)
have terminated it without notice as the licence has expired. The new owners
will not be using Gracenote. So no tagging until the end of the year at the
earliest.
As you can imagine there are a lot of unhappy Winamp users out there.

Oh I sure hope not, for I depended on that thing to tag stuff that either
wasn't tagged correctly or maybe not tagged at all!

I have a suspicion it's going to be perminant. Don't forget Winamp is no
longer being developed or supported.

Tim: Yes...that's exactly what it says! Hopefully this is only a temporary
thing and will be fixed soon! Thanks for the response!

I have noticed the same thing. It just says failed, no match found. I hope
they fix it because I use it for tagging songs on my radio shows.

Hello List: Have just noticed that the auto tagger in Winamp seems to be
not working! I tried to used it on several things; even tried it on things
that were already tagged! Yet, it says "failed! Does anyone here have an
explanation for this?
