hi

congratulation for your software. I've discoverred the cddb functionality when I was using cdex which currently has license troubles.

Just a question is it possible with songs-db to rename files I ripped before using cddb ie files that are just named audiotrackXX, and for which I know the album title

thanks for your answer

Do you mean to use CDDB for files instead of audio CDs? It isn't currently possible with Songs-DB. As far as I know, there are some applications which do this, but I never tested them and I'm afraid, they are not 100% successful. However it is possible, that this feature will be added to Songs-DB in the future.

what I mean is that before using cddb I had riped cds by myself, and I let the default filename used by cdex (audiatrackXX) and then I used another software to handle with the titles of the song.

can I change the filenames according to cddb fields with songsdb

thanks again

If you have the original CD, it is easy to query CDDB using Songs-DB and then rename grabbed files using multifile renaming feature of Songs-DB. However as I wrote in the last post, if you have just files and want to get information from CDDB, it isn't possible with Songs-DB yet.

Do you know what the name of these programs are that can use CDDB to fix ID3 tags for files?

I don't remember the names, but it should be quite easy to find them using Google (I hope so).
