Windows Media Player not recognizing various cd's
Hi folks, I'm working with both Winamp and Windows Media Player, and though neither program is perfect, I'm finding that Winamp seems to Excel a bit when it comes to identifying compact discs inserted into the computer. Is this based upon the databases accessed by the two applications? Is there a way to enhance Windows Media to be more productive in this regard? I use WMP to rip discs, and would like it to automatically identify the artist/title being ripped. On perhaps a dozen occasions over the past week, Winamp correctly labels the album, but WMP cannot do so. I have WMP set to go on-line and retrieve additional details. Are there other settings I can tweak for closer to ideal results? Scott To unsubscribe from this list, send a blank email to: pc-audio-unsubscr...@pc-audio.org

hello, you may want to check options to see if you can add alternate searches through data bases. i found itunes to be the most productive for retreaving cd info. thanks les Cd/Dvd Duplication Custom Printing Customer Service Les Gordon Phone: (267)329-8150 email: sa...@cdrdvdr.com web: http://www.cdrdvdr.com - Original Message - From: Scott Blanks captaincyn...@gmail.com To: PC Audio Discussion List pc-audio@pc-audio.org Sent: Monday, November 16, 2009 12:20 PM Subject: Windows Media Player not recognizing various cd's Hi folks, I'm working with both Winamp and Windows Media Player, and though neither program is perfect, I'm finding that Winamp seems to Excel a bit when it comes to identifying compact discs inserted into the computer.

Re: Windows Media Player not recognizing various cd's
Some quick search engine work has not produced any clear method for adding alternate databases to the WMP search. All of my settings in the program are already adjusted so that the cd should be automatically identified. But simply put, I can open Winamp and nearly every time receive the name of the album, not so in WMP.

Re: Windows Media Player not recognizing various cd's
scott, certain data bases are alot more effecient and accurate. i used nero data base before, but so far i found itunes to be the best. in about 3,000 cds. maybe 2 or 3 were not found in the data base. song titles and album titles are correct. thanks les Cd/Dvd Duplication Custom Printing Customer Service Les Gordon Phone: (267)329-8150 email: sa...@cdrdvdr.com web: http://www.cdrdvdr.com - Original Message - From: Scott Blanks captaincyn...@gmail.com To: PC Audio Discussion List pc-audio@pc-audio.org Sent: Monday, November 16, 2009 12:41 PM Subject: Re: Windows Media Player not recognizing various cd's Some quick search engine work has not produced any clear method for adding alternate databases to the WMP search.

Les, Can you only utilize this db through the ITunes program? Or is there a way to work it from within other apps?

Re: Windows Media Player not recognizing various cd's
scott, i am not sure, because i am just sticking to itunes. what you could do is download itunes. its free. and then look at the db. setting to see the name, then try to cutpaste the db name and place into your other ap. that may work. thanks les Cd/Dvd Duplication Custom Printing Customer Service Les Gordon Phone: (267)329-8150 email: sa...@cdrdvdr.com web: http://www.cdrdvdr.com - Original Message - From: Scott Blanks captaincyn...@gmail.com To: PC Audio Discussion List pc-audio@pc-audio.org Sent: Monday, November 16, 2009 12:48 PM Subject: Re: Windows Media Player not recognizing various cd's Les, Can you only utilize this db through the ITunes program?
