RE: Ripping With CDEX: IsItNo Longer Possible To Have Cdex Title Tracks?
Hi. As I write this I'm using two different computers to rip my commercial CDs with CDEX and I am having no trouble, getting all the track and album info required. Don't know where you are getting your information.

In Windows Media Player, go to tools, options, control tab to Rip Music Page. Tab to rip CD when inserted and check that box. You should be good to go. - Original Message - From: Byron Stephens bstephens122...@shaw.ca To: PC Audio Discussion List pc-audio@pc-audio.org Sent: Tuesday, June 24, 2014 3:08 PM Subject: Re: Ripping With CDEX: IsItNo Longer Possible To Have Cdex Title Tracks?

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.

Hello Deb and list: Actually I was going to send a message, telling of how I finally had success with ripping a CD with Windows Media (it seems that when you tab and land on the seek slider, then you have to use the arrow keys to find the rip button! Does this sound correct? Anyhow it has my track titles; now I'm going to put the CD in that I _really_ want to rip and see if it'll work with that collection! If so, maybe I'll just go on back to using Windows Media and forget about CDEX for now! Thanks again to all of you for bearing with me through all of this! It just shouldn't be so difficult!

Re: Ripping With CDEX: IsItNo Longer Possible To Have Cdex Title Tracks?
Hello. Surprised this doesn't seem to have been brought up already but the thread is long and there are loads of messages so I might have missed it. I am going to guess that the reason this no longer works is that the gracenet database is no longer available to the programme. I believe a license fee had to be paid to use the service in the first place, and while I could be wrong about that, the database did change ownership recently, and both Winamp and CDex no longer have access to it. WInamp is no longer being updated as I'm sure everyone knows, and I don't think much is being done with Cdex either. So it's likely that, unless another solution presents itself, you will just have to manually input your track information, or use a different programme.
RE: Ripping With CDEX: IsItNo Longer Possible To Have Cdex Title Tracks?
TYes...this would stand to rreason if Gracenote was being used in the remote connection. However (unless I'm missing something here) in my case, it isn't! Here again...all of the servers that are listed (in my case, there are three) but I suppose it's possible that they all use Gracenote somehow? Does this sound reasonable?
