Re: I Must Be Doing Something Wrong Here!
Hello Tom, Although te web extract, below, may help to explain how this stuff works, I doubt it will solve your problem. So for your information, here it is. I have not formatted the data below, jus located, cut and pasted the info. I at least found it interesting. CDDB1 identifies CDs with a 32-bit number, usually displayed as a hexadecimal number containing 8 digits: XXZZ. The first two digits (labeled XX) represent a checksum based on the starting times of each track on the CD, mod 255. The next four digits () represent the total time of the CD in seconds from the start of the first track to the end of the last track. The last two digits (ZZ) represent the number of tracks on the CD. For example, suppose a CD contains a single track of duration 3610 seconds. First the XX checksum is calculated by summing the track starting times mod 255. Since CDs have a 2-second offset from the start of disc data, XX becomes "02". Second, the total CD play duration of 3610 seconds in hexadecimal is 0e1a, so becomes "0e1a". Finally, there is one track on this CD so ZZ becomes "01". The full disc ID of the example CD is "020e1a01". Any CD which contains one track with a duration of 3610 seconds starting 2 seconds from the beginning of the CD will have this disc ID. To distinguish between different CDs which happen to have the same disc ID, the CDDB1 database is organized into multiple categories. If there is a conflict with different CD releases possessing the same CDDB1 ID, they can be placed in a different category (such as classical, rock, blues, folk or misc).

Maybe you're not connected to the internet? You could also try uninstalling and reinstalling CDEx.

Okay...as I see it, Gracenote isn't having anything to do with CDEX's Remote CBBB (if I'm saying that right) now I'm not sure of what should be checked and unchecked! But it does sound like mine is set similar to how yours is! But will maybe tackle it again tomorrow; would like to continue using CDEX as Windows Media is just frustrating (and maybe it's simple) but it just isn't as simple like it used to be!

The first box under Remote CDDB, I have is for Freed not Gracenote In my case, it's been pulling down the track information without a problem. There are generally several options in that first entry under Remote CDDB. Try arrowing up and down to find something other than Gracenote. - Original Message - From: "Tom Kaufman" To: Sent: Monday, June 23, 2014 8:18 PM Subject: I Must Be Doing Something Wrong Here! > Hello Again: More about ripping CDs: someone said that perhaps the CD I > was > trying to rip didn't have enough information (or something to that affect) > to bear this out or disprove it, I decided to try another CD with CDEX > (I'm > getting the same results!

Are you certain that you've ripped it as an audio and not a digital disk? -Original Message- From: Pc-audio [mailto:pc-audio-boun...@pc-audio.org] On Behalf Of Tom Kaufman Sent: Monday, June 23, 2014 6:19 PM To: Pc-audio@pc-audio.org Subject: I Must Be Doing Something Wrong Here!
