I don't even bother with CD databases as they're usually so inaccurate
in the first places - ain't like they used to be you know -.
When I rip Audio CD'S for books the first thing I do - having obtained
the book title - is to go to the Google Book Search and type in the
title, that brings up an information page thus I then can enter the data
as need be.
I Use Easy CD Converter for Windows or XLD for the Mac but I prefer Easy
CD Converter much of the time.
Anyway I have a Profile for talking books where particular parameters
are set for the MP3 encoder, the naming scheme is set to Track Number
-its audio books we're talking about and they usually don't have any
particular track titles - and so on.
Its a shame that people won't use anything other than toys like iTunes
to Rip their CD'S and I don't shy away from saying this either, iTunes -
and many other rippers are toys nothing more and nothing less -, they do
not look for errors on CD'S for example and before anyone says there
aren't any, you wouldn't know unless you had an accurate ripper that
generated a log for you of ripping results, Easy CD Converter, XLD and
Exact Audio Copy are amongst the few that do this as well as emplying
advanced error correction and retry methods.
Yes, ripping can take a little longer - say 20 minutes instead of 2 -
but the length is worth it as you get a truly accurate product.

Hi!
I have a strange problem with cdex and freedb.
Mostly i do my cd ripping in Itunes on my mac with very good results.
But when it comes to audiobooks on cd i prefer cdex for windows.
However i have one odd problem with the audiobooks.
Its very strange.
When i rip cd-s i connect to the freedb and sometimes a cd of an audiobook is
missing when i querying the freedb.
I wonder why some cd-s are missing in a audiobook that contains 10 cds.
Really frustrating.
