Re: recovering cd track information
Hi this is the case still, you have to go in to the remote tab in the settings and enter your E-mail address and then it will work when you say OK or save and then hit F5 to refresh the screan. that only has to be done once unless you uninstall or reinstall or go back to a restore point before the date of entering your E-mail address I hope this helps from John, Iris and siobhan - Original Message - From: "Tom Kaufman" To: "PC Audio Discussion List" Sent: Wednesday, March 23, 2011 1:13 AM Subject: Re: recovering cd track information 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!

Re: recovering cd track information
If you email off list I can send a program called dirlist that makes lists of files if that is what you want. - Original Message - From: "Joe Giovanelli" To: Sent: Tuesday, March 22, 2011 12:36 PM Subject: recovering cd track information I have some cds but do not have the titles for their tracks.

Re: recovering cd track information
I use a Braille Sense for e-mail and occasionally the translator messes things up. You definitely wrote: c d e x I wrote that for you so that there couldn't be a translation error. As for c d e x, well, when I put a cd into the drive, I see tracks and times, but no titles onor artist data. Pressing f 1 does not launch "help." I looked at all the files in the c d e x folder and I don't see a c h m file nor anything resembling help. Maybe I didn't download the right thing. I have 1470 beta 4. I'd rather have gotten a program that wasn't a beeta but I didn't see one. I hope I conveyed the reason I'm stuck.

Re: recovering cd track information
Hmm, odd. Are you using braille input to type or format your messages? I checked your message, and it turned my original message into the word couldex, when my actual message said c d e x, as four distinct letters. I'd never seen that happen before, when it made c d translate into the braille contraction could. Anyhow, once you put a cd into the drive and start cdex up, it will automatically pull the cd from its database, assuming it's a regular commercial cd. It goes by the time of each track. That's how it figures out what cd you've put in. There are a couple of places where using the mouse cursor, or Jaws cursor will help, specifically in opening up areas where you tell the program where to store the files. Also, you'll probably want to read the help area inside the program that deals with the percent signs and how to structure that format so that it puts the files in the correct folder structure. On another unrelated note, and you may want to respond off-list for this, but have you kept up with Ed Potter's announcements which he continues to do? How are you doing otherwise? He said you might be in Virginia, but also I think you're from New York as well. We've not corresponded before, but when the archives of Playback magazine and the underground tapes became available on mp3, I listened to the magazine from its beginning, though I hadn't ever been aware of it beforehand. So keep asking questions about cdex, and I'll try to help as best I can. Matthew To unsubscribe from this list, send a blank email to: pc-audio-unsubscr...@pc-audio.org
Re: recovering cd track information
Hello, Matthew and List, Thank you for the info about COULDEX. I found and downloaded it. I'm using Windows 7 so perhaps this is why help couldn't launch. Without that, I couldn't determine how to make a cd go to a database and give me the titles and the like. I looked at settings but didn't see how to set up the program to retrieve the needed data. If you can find the time, I'd appreciate a few pointers to get the program to work for me.

Re: recovering cd track information
You should be able to use CDEX to get this done. It pulls from the internet database of cd titles, and will also do a great job of extracting the files into whatever format you want, if you set the options properly. The program is free.
