Hi, Ref the above - I don't actually know the answer to all of these questions. I'm using dbpoweramp and, while it pops up very quickly when the CD is entered, it seems to be saying that it's communicating to accurateRip database, then it usually lists three or four metadata sources: freedb, musicbrainz, GD3 & AMG (standard stuff, I imagine). I don't know which of those is offering the positive ID, but something is. The two albums concerned so far were both by Jethro Tull: 'Rock Island', and 'Too old to Rock 'n Roll; too young to die'. But there's about 350-400 more vinyl copy CDs where they came from... so the least amount of typing I have to do, the better! I guess that I figured it must be something like: if album has -x- tracks of -y- duration then it's probably -z-, and that the assorted matches might be offered, but on the other hand with so many albums out there, I thought there would be too many similar matches? I was surprised because I used (I think) a programme called 'CleanPlus'. This allowed me to put in my own 'fade up' and 'fade down' top and tail to the individual songs/tracks, so the track durations might be further distanced from the originals on the album, making a match less likely. As I say - delighted it works, I was just curious about how.
