Get Album Info From FreeDb

by **MPG** » Tue May 01, 2012 5:42 pm

Hi,
I'm in the midst of ripping a number of CD. Sometimes the Get Album Info From FreeDb does not autolookup the CD and I have to manually do it. Seems to happen after the 5 or 6 rip. There doesn't seem to be any rhyme or reason to it. It's not a real big deal, just a pain...especially with no Hotkey to execute the lookup.

Anyone else have this problem? Any suggestions?

Using 4.03.1476

Thanks,
MPG

Is it possible FreeDB doesn't have the album? I run into this problem a lot with certain genres, which aren't popular, and therefore not in the system.

Thanks for the response.

So far, all of the albums exist. When I select the menu option, the album is found and the tag information is populated.

It happens occasionally when freedb is overloaded, the only thing you can do is do the manual lookup or eject the CD and pop it back in again.

That makes sense. Thanks for the response!
