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 cut&paste the db name and place into your other ap. that may work.

thanks les

Les,

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

Thanks,
Scott

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

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.

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
