Re: Coppiing music from my brother's IPod?
Hello carliss ,Assuming that you already have an itunes account established on your computer, Try this. Hold down the Shift key while you open iTunes. In the dialog that appears, click Create Library. Name and save the alternate library file. iTunes opens with your new library file. Open iTunes Preferences. Click the Advanced tab. Deselect the Copy files to iTunes Media folder when adding to library checkbox if it is already selected and click OK. This will prevent iTunes from creating duplicates of your existing media files in the new library folder. Add the specific media files you want on your device to iTunes choosing File Add File to Library or Add Folder to Library After you organize the iTunes library, connect and sync your device. After the sync is complete, quit iTunes. Hope this helps.

I am going to guess that the reason this no longer works is that the gracenet database is no longer available to the programme.

RE: Ripping With CDEX:IsIt No Longer Possible To Have Cdex Title Tracks?
Okay...so CDEX _doesn't_ used Gracenote; that's what I was wondering! So I fail to understand why (aafter not having trouble with CDEX giving me the track titles before) why it's doing so now! It well me be that this CD Bboxed set hasn't been referenced, but it seems strange, for it's a Hank Williams collection that was put out probably ten years ago (iI don't remember the exact year it came out) but I thought surely it could be ripped with the track information...but maybe not!

Re: Ripping WithCDEX: IsItNo Longer Possible To Have Cdex Title Tracks?
Seems to me that there is somewhere in CDex where you have to tell it where to get the title and track info. Then, when you put in a CD, it goes to the site and downloads the stuff.

Hello. Surprised this doesn't seem to have been brought up already but the thread is long and there are loads of messages so I might have missed it. I am going to guess that the reason this no longer works is that the gracenet database is no longer available to the programme. I believe a license fee had to be paid to use the service in the first place, and while I could be wrong about that, the database did change ownership recently, and both Winamp and CDex no longer have access to it. WInamp is no longer being updated as I'm sure everyone knows, and I don't think much is being done with Cdex either. So it's likely that, unless another solution presents itself, you will just have to manually input your track information, or use a different programme. --- This email is free from viruses and malware because avast!

Re: Ripping With CDEX:IsIt No Longer Possible To Have Cdex Title Tracks?
Hi, with mine set to automatically query the remote CDDB when a disc is inserted if it finds no match it'll usually pop up and tell me no match found or give me options if there's more than one match it thinks is possible. If you're getting none of that I question whether it's connecting at all. have you changed anything significantly in terms of hardware, software security software settings between the time it last worked and now? Do you have a windows based system on which system restore is enabled could you try restoring the system to the time around which you'd last known the program to work properly? when you have one of these discs in the drive and CDEX is opened if you tap alt key for menu bar right arrow over to CDDB menu I believe it is and enter on read from remote database what result occurs?

RE: Ripping With CDEX:IsIt No Longer Possible To Have Cdex Title Tracks?
Tom, Maybe I missed this, but do you get any track information when using Windows Media Player? If you do, this would at least validate that the CD was providing the correct data for lookup. Also, if you bought this set used for from Ebay, it is always possible you got a set that was copied incorrectly, but again, getting information about the CD from Windows Media Player would show this was not the case. This would at least narrow the problem down to CDEX or the database being accessed.

RE: Ripping With CDEX:IsIt No Longer Possible To Have Cdex Title Tracks?
Tom, I asked earlier if you were using Window-Eyes. I was thinking you did, and if so, there has been a problem with identifying some of the buttons on the Now Playing window which is where the rip button is. If this is the case, you could either check the RIP Automatically box or you could try NVDA which does detect this button. This is a known issue for Window-Eyes and it will be corrected. I was thinking, though, that when you put the CD in that there are options to display information about the CD even if you don't rip. I thought if you were seeing CD information that it would mean that at least in some cases CD information is being retrieved. This would insure that the problem of not getting information was associated with CDEX and not with a problem with the CD itself.

Hello Robin and list: I only went to a later version of CDEX yesterday! The way I do it is to go into CDEX; then I hit F4; I then control-Tab until it says Remote CDBB tab. As far as I can tell, things are set as they are supposed to be (I haven't tried it by the method you described) hitting the alt key; then going through the menus that way!

If you're getting none of that I question whether it's connecting at all. have you changed anything significantly in terms of hardware, software security software settings between the time it last worked and now?

Hello. Surprised this doesn't seem to have been brought up already but the thread is long and there are loads of messages so I might have missed it. I am going to guess that the reason this no longer works is that the gracenet database is no longer available to the programme. I believe a license fee had to be paid to use the service in the first place, and while I could be wrong about that, the database did change ownership recently, and both Winamp and CDex no longer have access to it. WInamp is no longer being updated as I'm sure everyone knows, and I don't think much is being done with Cdex either. So it's likely that, unless another solution presents itself, you will just have to manually input your track information, or use a different programme. --- This email is free from viruses and malware because avast!
