[Tracy Carcione]

Thanks Ken.  I think I have CDEX.  What database did you set it to use, if you remember?

When I was building my library for my radio show since we weren’t using windows media player, I use a CD wrapping program called cdex. The only time I have had to use windows media player was on some of the smaller independent music like from my collection from bloodshot records.  What you do is in setting up Cdex is you tell it what database you want it to search for I also set it to wrip and the 320 KBPS setting and set it to paranoia which is a setting that a CD will be able to be copied while looking passed fingerprints or scratches on the disc.  Our station manager bill was no fan of windows media player. He thought of it as a piece of crap although he used the S word Huh?  He converted me to winamp partly because when I first started on the show I used that to get on the air.  Once I got the knack with it though I fell in love with it.  That’s why we use cdex.  You might try using that.

I have been using Windows Media Player on my Windows 7 machine to rip CD's

to MP3.  It used to fill in all the info by looking it up on the internet

automagically-putting in the album name, artist, and track names without my

having to do anything-but now it doesn't.  I have to go to Amazon, find the

track listing, and type in all the names.

 

Is there any way to make WMP do the lookup again?  Or is there some other

program to use instead?  I see WMP isn't even on my Windows 10 machine, but

I don't know what took its place or what it does.

 

Thanks.

 

Tracy
