You are but it is a limmitation of the free account for Spotify.

Re: Tagging mp3 files.
Hi kevin, I wonder if shisam has a desktop app? Might be a long way around, if you are wanting to tag lots of music, with no info on artist track or albums. Might be a start though.

Re: I Must Be Doing Something Wrong Here!
Hello Tom, Although te web extract, below, may help to explain how this stuff works, I doubt it will solve your problem. So for your information, here it is. I have not formatted the data below, jus located, cut and pasted the info. I at least found it interesting. CDDB1 identifies CDs with a 32-bit number, usually displayed as a hexadecimal number containing 8 digits: XXZZ. The first two digits (labeled XX) represent a checksum based on the starting times of each track on the CD, mod 255. The next four digits () represent the total time of the CD in seconds from the start of the first track to the end of the last track. The last two digits (ZZ) represent the number of tracks on the CD. For example, suppose a CD contains a single track of duration 3610 seconds. First the XX checksum is calculated by summing the track starting times mod 255. Since CDs have a 2-second offset from the start of disc data, XX becomes 02. Second, the total CD play duration of 3610 seconds in hexadecimal is 0e1a, so becomes 0e1a. Finally, there is one track on this CD so ZZ becomes 01. The full disc ID of the example CD is 020e1a01. Any CD which contains one track with a duration of 3610 seconds starting 2 seconds from the beginning of the CD will have this disc ID. To distinguish between different CDs which happen to have the same disc ID, the CDDB1 database is organized into multiple categories. If there is a conflict with different CD releases possessing the same CDDB1 ID, they can be placed in a different category (such as classical, rock, blues, folk or misc).

Re: Ripping With CDEX: Is It No Longer Possible To Have Cdex Title Tracks?
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.

RE: Ripping With CDEX: Is It NoLonger Possible To Have Cdex Title Tracks?
Tom, Am I remembering correctly that you are using Window-Eyes? Window-Eyes has some trouble with the rip button in Windows Media Player, but there are some ways around the problem. The rip button shows up on the Now Playing screen which you can bring up by pressing CONTROL-3. However, if you have a few to rip, there is a Windows Media Player option to automatically rip a CD when you put one in and this let's you avoid the button.

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!

It sounds like you're not able to contact the free db server for some reason. in the cddb menu of CDEX, there's another option that says read from music brains, which is an alternative database that should have similar info.

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.

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!

So if Winamp and CDex don't use Gracenote any more, which ripper/player does? -Original Message- From: Byron Stephens Sent: Wednesday, June 25, 2014 8:34 AM To: PC Audio Discussion List Subject: Re: Ripping With CDEX:IsIt No 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.

Re: a cd problem
Hi, Alexandra, My Sony unit works very well. I listened to quite a bit of music today with no problems. It's only when I began using my new laptop to burn disks that this problem occurred. I will see if my supplier can send me samples of other disks so I can find a brand which will play. It is fortunate that my clients can play their disks, even though I cannot do so.

Coppiing music from my brother's IPod?
Listers, Plese tell me the best way to copy my brother's music which is on his IPod, one of THOSE THAT HAS A TOUCH SCREEN, I was thinking about just plugging the IPod in to my computer which has ITunes on it, and coppiing the music THAT WAY, AND when its finished downloding in to ITunes JUST COPY AND PASTE IT WHERE I WANT?

RE: Coppiing music from my brother's IPod?
That's what you need to do. When you connect the player it esentially becomes an external drive to your computer. Just make sure you copy rather than move. Moving the files would transfer them to your pc.

Re: a cd problem
I have seen such things before, its probably the drive in the Dukebox, not quite aligned or needs to be cleaned, but it may need a new drive it that is possible.

Re: Coppiing music from my brother's IPod?
I think doing that would erase the music, unless you imported it to Itunes first, or it would complain that the ipod is synced to another computer's library, so be careful.

Re: Coppiing music from my brother's IPod?
I don't think you can get the music off of his iPod by connecting it to your computer. iTunes will complain that the iPod is synced to another library. Your best bet, if you have access to a portable hard drive, would be to connect it to his computer and copy the music from the iTunes Media folder. There might also be music elsewhere on his computer that was imported into iTunes that you would need to copy. Then you could connect the drive to your computer and copy the music to your hard drive.

Re: a cd problem
Do I recall correctly that some stand-alone players at one time required special music CDs because the recording companies were trying to get a cut from burning copies of CDs?
