RE: CD Data And Information
That's because CDEx uses FreeCDDb as a default database, but with the additional programme Player it can read from the player.ini file and use Gracenote.

Re: CD Data And Information
Unless they're not original CD'S and have come from somewhere else in the form of copies, that's why its important to have CD Ripping software that does accurate copying, the CD should have a barcode on the back which you can read with your scanner which in tern will bring up the information. If that fails then your friend Google can often then help out with information.

Re: CD Data And Information
Most of the CDs I've ripped with Winamp are not ones you can find in mainstream stores, but Winamp was able to find the info for them. Gracenotes seems to know almost everything I throw at it, even obscure limited edition electronic music CDs. It's very seldom it doesn't know what a CD is, and I have a lot of stuff from genres that you won't find in mainstream stores. Nowadays though, I avoid buying physical CDs whenever I can and simply buy downloadable versions. I only buy physical CDs when I absolutely have to to get something I really want.

You don't have to have the Pro version to rip CDs, but there are some restrictions. First, you can't rip to mp3, but you can rip to m4a, and some other formats which I forget because I bought the Pro version a while back.

Hello Evan and list: So are there any advantages with ripping with Winamp, as opposed to other CD rippers such as Cdex, WMP and MP3 Ripper? BTW-I installed MP3 Ripper a little while ago, but don't see how to make it give title and artist and such! Besides, it still wouldn't rip the cut on the CD I've been working with; I suspect there's a problem with that track and probably is nothing I can do with it!

BTW-I installed MP3 Ripper a little while ago, but don't see how to make it give title and artist and such! Besides, it still wouldn't rip the cut on the CD I've been working with; I suspect there's a problem with that track and probably is nothing I can do with it!

If there are any other benefits, I don't know about them.

Gracenotes seems to know almost everything I throw at it, even obscure limited edition electronic music CDs. It's very seldom it doesn't know what a CD is, and I have a lot of stuff from genres that you won't find in mainstream stores. Nowadays though, I avoid buying physical CDs whenever I can and simply buy downloadable versions. I only buy physical CDs when I absolutely have to to get something I really want.

Once upon a not so long ago, Gracenote was good because every CD entry made into the database was checked but the Gracenote database wasn't free to use like it is now thus no checking is done any longer. The later CD ripping software such as Easy CD DA Extractor or Easy CD Converter
