Re: Ripping With CDEX:IsIt No Longer Possible To Have Cdex Title Tracks?
Hi! Have you tried out Itunes. I know there's an extra program to install and i am using it on the mac so i am not sure how things works on pc but last time i tried Itunes on pc it worked just fine to import cd-s with. There's also exact audio copy which is free. /A 26 jun 2014 kl. 17:18 skrev Tom Kaufman : > Sounds to me like this Express Rip is something like CDEX in that it gives > you a couple of choices!

RE: Ripping With CDEX:IsIt No Longer Possible To Have Cdex Title Tracks?
Tom, I've written a couple of times but had to reconfirm my membership so don't know if they got through. Therefore, I'm sorry if I am repeating myself. If you still want to figure this out, it is necessary to try to narrow down the problem. Either the CD information isn't available on CDEX's databases, something has gone wrong with your CDEX install, or something is interfering with connections. Since you have stated that you have seen a "rip" button in Windows Media Player, I'll assume that my concern that you might be using Window-Eyes and the button may not be detected was incorrect. Have you attempted to see if another CD you feel confident has worked can be ripped by CDEX with track information? If you can get CD information through CDEX for another CD, it would establish that CDEX is able to get information. This would point a finger at your particular set not being entered in the databases that CDEX is using. As others have said, this kind of thing can happen and doesn't always seem logical. If you can't get track information for any CD using CDEX, then clearly there is a problem with your configuration and it will be worth your time to try to track down the problem and resolve it. Second, I have seen the "rip" button not appear in Windows Media Player when Windows Media Player determines it can't rip a CD. This can happen if it thinks it already ripped the CD, or possibly if there is data rights management involved. I once had this happen when I did not realize that Windows Media Player had already successfully ripped a CD for me during a period whan I had the "rip automatically" box checked. I assume that you have probably double-checked to be sure the set hasn't already been ripped. Finally, I had read that you do not have a router, so that couldn't be an issue. Most cable and DSL modems have a router built in even if they only have one network connector. If there is wireless capability, there is almost certainly a router involved even if it is not a separate piece of hardware. These devices also usually have some sort of firewall as well, but this isn't something that should have just magically changed and therefore started causing you trouble. However, it might not hurt to try unplugging your cable or DSL modem if you have it and then plugging it back in to get everything to reboot, but only if there seems to be no other explanation. If, for example, you can get CDEX to rip even one other CD with track information, then you know there is no connectivity problem. If you have some other kind of connection that truly has no router or firewall, then obviously this paragraph is just wasting your time, although your computer probably has at least a Windows firewall. I hope something here is helpful.

Sounds to me like this Express Rip is something like CDEX in that it gives you a couple of choices! As much as it troubles me, I fear that maybe this Hank Williams Complete collection is one of those that CDEX just can't get the information from! I had ripped it a long time ago (this was back before I knew that CDEX could be told to title the tracks) so I decided I wanted to have the track titles in, but hate to go through the trouble of typing them in manually! This actually is why I left CDEX for a little while as I found out that Windows Media would do this for you right out of the box! Aw but this was Windows Media 11; it was much simpler to do back then! But then WMP 12 comes along...and it's just not so "cut-and-dry!" I did rip a CD with Windows Media the other day; it actually showed me the "rip button"...but it won't show me that button with this particular CD grhrhrhrhrhrhrhrhrowl!

Hi. Not all data base will contain the information you might need. I've just purchased the Porter Wagoner & Dolly Parton 6 disc box set. This was released on the 26th of May this year, I got it 2 weeks after the release. However when ripping the discs with CDEX or Express Rip I could get no track info and this was a Bear Family box set. I had to go on the web and find a track list and enter the info manually. It is rather strange because I have some very obscure CDs and the Data Base found that info without trouble. You might find it of interest that Express Rip gives you the option of two Data Bases and if one doesn't get the info, you can then try the other.

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!

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?

Steve: You may not have seen my response, but I am not running Window-Eyes (am running latest build of Jaws 15. Are there any known issues with Jaws and Windows Media Player in regard to finding those buttons? Tom Kaufman -Original Message- From: Pc-audio [mailto:pc-audio-boun...@pc-audio.org] On Behalf Of Steve Jacobson Sent: Wednesday, June 25, 2014 2:12 PM To: PC Audio Discussion List Subject: 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.

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.
