markyb 0 Posted July 19, 2010 Report Share Posted July 19, 2010 Hi guys, I use Audiograbber to rip my CD's to MP3, and most of them are recognised by the freeDB utility which is part of Audiograbber. However, when I tried to rip Now 76 yesterday, it was not recognised. As the Now series are really popular I was surpised that it didnt recognise it, and when I googled freeDB it seems that the service is currently offline due to maintenance. I did not have any other CD's to hand to test, but can anyone let me know if 1) freeDB is working, and 2) if Now 76 should be recogised? I know I could type in the details by hand, but Im not in a rush so could wait a few days. Cheers, Mark.

markyb 0 Posted July 19, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 19, 2010 Thanks Gadget, I thought that might be the case. Mine arrived from Amazon a little early, so maybe if I wait a few days someone will have uploaded it. If not, I guess I could do it myself!

vokf 0 Posted July 19, 2010 Report Share Posted July 19, 2010 Guys - try to learn how to submit. The freeDB project relies on users submitting data. Spending a few minutes to enter Now76 will help thousands, and I'm surprised no one has pointed out this as a solution... Next time you rip a CD, remember that someone has to type in the details- its not automatic! The alternative.... purchase it on download? Jason Link to post Share on other sites
markyb 0 Posted July 19, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 19, 2010 Thanks Jason, I had never really considered before that someone somewhere has typed them all in. I assumed that the info was provided by the record companies etc. Apart from physically typing in the details, is it hard to do? If I have time later this week I will try and work out how to do it.

Jason Heh, I have submitted quite a few CDs to the freedb database... Had a few rejected because of the genre-chosen clash... resubmitting is a bit of a pain as you have to put the CD back in the drawer. (And by the time I receive the email to say it was rejected I've moved onto the next CD!).
