This function queries all not yet queried CDs (the CDs with CDDBQueryState = 0 in table Medias) in FreeDB. SongsDB keeps the CDDB key and the track data needed for the query in the database after scanning a CD. If it finds multiple entries for some of them you can select which one to use in the same way as for a single CD. OK adds all the results to the database. When I enter data manually (via 'scan path' and edit track properties in the properties dialog for each track), I always set CDDBQueryState manually (with MSAccess) to prevent SongsDB from overwriting the entered data, if the CD is found while doing a 'query all' later.
The function is very useful
- when adding lots of CDs
- when I want to add CDs offline
- when I have to use a slow internet connection or an internet connection that needs time for dial-up
- when I have CDs that are not yet in FreeDB and I am too lazy to enter them, but patient enough to wait for someone else to submit them. Then I just scan them and query all these CDs now and then
