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. Walter.

If it is an MGM, Polygram label it should be referenced. if it is from Time Life, or the mother's best recordings from Jett Williams I wouldn't be so sure. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Tom Kaufman" <tomca...@comcast.net> To: "'PC Audio Discussion List'" <pc-audio@pc-audio.org> Sent: Wednesday, June 25, 2014 11:17 AM Subject: RE: Ripping With CDEX:IsIt No Longer Possible To Have Cdex Title Tracks? Okay...so CDEX _doesn't_ used Gracenote; that's what I was wondering! So I fail to understand why (aafter not having trouble with CDEX giving me the track titles before) why it's doing so now! It well me be that this CD Bboxed set hasn't been referenced, but it seems strange, for it's a Hank Williams collection that was put out probably ten years ago (iI don't remember the exact year it came out) but I thought surely it could be ripped with the track information...but maybe not!

CDEx never used GraceNote. You have to install Player.exe to get information from GraceNote that you can also export to CDEx.
