I dunno if this helps but the version of CDEX I'm running is 1.70 beta 1.
So if you're running a different version you might try installing the
one I am and see if that doesn't work. If you're already running it, go
into your settings with f4, and in the remote cddb tab, set your server
to Freedb.Freedb.org, and make sure the connect to remote cddb check box
is checked.
If all that is correct and you still don't get results, maybe try
another cd that you know should have a listing, make it something super
popular, like oh, gosh i dunno a beatles cd if ya have one. Or something
like Dark Side of The Moon by Pink Floyd. I'm talking a cd that
absolutely should be listed, this way we can tell if it's the cd itself
not being listed, or if it's a problem with the connection, or CDEX itself.

Maybe delete and reinstall?

Well I'm either not understanding something, or it's just plain not working;
it _still_ gives me "audio track 1...and on and on and on; not what I want!
I don't understand why it used to work just fine, but now it's not!

If it doesn't grab them automaticly, go to your cddb sub menu and arrow down
to freedb batch query and press enter. I bet you that'll do the trick.

Yup; that's what my CDEX used to do too! But that isn't what I found
yesterday afternoon (it said audio track 1 01 (and so it went like that) I
wouldn't think that the information on this particular CD boxed set would
be
hard to get info for!

When i ripped my last couple of cds about a month ago I didn't even
require the player program you guys are talking about. i just put the cd
in the drive, launched CDEX and just like magic, there they were, the
song titles properly in the right places. Then I just hit f9 and off it
went, ripping to 320 k mp3. Nice and fast.

...get a programme there that's called "Player", download it, install it.
This very blindfriendly program will let you grab the information from
Gracenote, then you could either rip to wav or ogg or export the
information
in the player.ini from which cdex is able to read it so you can also rip
into whatever formats cdex supports, i.e. mp3.

So what you're saying is, go to the Gracenote site and...and then what?
Afraid it's just not sinking in!

CDEx doesn't use Gracenote by default, you have to install a different
program called player which you can find on the gracenote site and this
will
allow you to export information from Gracenote to CDEx and, yes, this
still
works fine. GraceNote is far better than FreeCDDB, but both still exist
and
Gracenote complements the former.
Take care

I ripped a cd just a few weeks ago using CDEX so yes, it is quite
definitely
possible to have it grab the track titles from gracenote.
speaking of which the proper spelling of that for future reference is
g r
a c e
n o t e.
I'm guessing the cd collection being ripped wasn't available, some
older titles and some audio books aren't referenced in there. so
amazon or google may be your best bet for track titles, and you can
always use something like mp3 tag to tag your files if that's important
to
you.
