I can make it a user option - it is only a few line of code as all the heavy parsing work is done.
I'll also add CD-Text to raw track info. > > Oddly - but this is a CDDB issue nothing to do with CDPlayer - > "Raising Sand" by Robert Plant and Alison Krauss came up with several > sets of entries for the tracks.

The calculated checksum to uniquely identify CDs is very weak. Secondly, CDDB has a database per genre (about 10-15 genres). There can only be one entry for Discid per genre. However often after a search there is an exact correct match in each genre - so again you can have multiple exact matches each for the right CD but from different entry author (i.e. possibly 10-15 exact matches one per genre). I add the CDDB genre in square brackets. -- bpa ------------------------------------------------------------------------ bpa's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1806 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=47288 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/plugins
