Aad,' Yes, I follow you now.
I also use Easy CD-DA Extractor; that's how I access Freedb. But I'm less concerned with creating and maintaining an accurate catalog than with just getting the right artist, album, and track info associated with the tracks I rip to my external Maxtor drives. (I prefer to play all my music from my computer, and to just keep the CDs on the shelf, for display and archival purposes.) Good luck. Blessed Be, Dana that's Dayna, D A N A, NOT Donna, D O N N A D.
