RE: Strange Problem With Ripping CD With CDEX
Well now...since I have an earlier version OD Cdex, would it help if I went on and upgraded to the latest version? I think (even with the version of Cdex I have) there may be a way to get the information from a different source...although I don't remember exactly how this is accomplished! I still think it odd that the CD I'm having the problem with comes from that same boxed set (if the whole set was that way, I'd maybe agree that the company didn't bother to put out the info) but it's the same set (CD 1 and 2 work fine) but thanks to those of you who are making suggestions and who are trying to help!

RE: Strange Problem With Ripping CD With CDEX
Download the Player.exe from http://www.vuplayer.com/player.php Install it and agree to terms. Start the player. Insert a CD and wait till it's recognized. Pres control+p to export the information in the player.ini. Open CDEx and cancel the process of searching the data base. Press alt and navigate to the right to CDDB. Press arrow down till you find Read from player.ini and hit enter. The information should be there. I only very rarely have a CD that the combination of FreeCDDB and Gracenote don't cover. Good luck and get back to me, if you need any further help.

RE: Strange Problem With Ripping CD With CDEX
Okay...I checked this out; from what I'm seeing, it'll work with any system except for Windows 7 (says nothing about 8 or higher) so I can only assume this won't work on my machine as it is a Windows 7 64 bit machine!

RE: Strange Problem With Ripping CD With CDEX
BTW-decided I'd give it another go with Cdex in hopes that maybe last night's problems were a fluke as it had worked with the first two CDs from the boxed set; no soap! Same results!

Re: Strange Problem With Ripping CD With CDEX
Windows media seems to find cds better than cdex or audio grabber. They seem to use a better data base. I like cdex but I can rip cds two at a time with windows media. Sometimes they all get it wrong however. I have never ripped with winamp but they seem to be able to find cd titles well to.
