Hello again list: Am still working on it--lol; after I changed to "freeds (I hope I'm saying this right) Express Rip _is_ giving me the titles; I now need to find out if I can make it give the track number! As Gary pointed out, it's a pretty safe bet that this CD collection _is_ referenced and probably several times over! I don't know how much was given for my copy of The Complete Hank Williams (was given to me for Christmas) am sure it was a little on the pricey side! This is why I just had a hard time believing that it hadn't been in any data base! I may (just for giggles) try ripping with CDEX as it uses one of the same servers that Express Rip uses as at least I do like that it puts everything in its own folder and numbers the tracks; can't imagine why it's not giving me the titles! But sometimes when it comes to these sorts of things, who knows! Tom Kaufman

The Music Brains give me a totally different track listing. I don't see a choice for Gracenote. I thought someone said it did use Gracenote. I think Gracenote seems to be the best service.

Currently it's giving me the title, but wouldn't mind if it would also list the track number! Will have another look in options to see if there's a way to accomplish this!

Last time I did it used Freeds.com You might check to see what music data base it is using and see if you can change it. From earlier posts, it sounds as if your particular disks may just not be out on the net yet and you'll need to manually tag the files. As I understand the process these programs/data bases go through, is they analyze the number of tracks on a disk, the length of each track in order and the total length of the disk and try to match that information with disks in their data bases. If no one's put that info up on their data base, it will try to find something close as a suggestion. -----Original Message----- From: Pc-audio [mailto:pc-audio-boun...@pc-audio.org] On Behalf Of Tom Kaufman Sent: Thursday, June 26, 2014 3:07 PM To: 'PC Audio Discussion List' Subject: RE: Guess I Need More Info About Express Burn Yes...that's what I meant (Express rip) takes it's information from...now what is it...Brain Food (or something like that? wherever it's getting it's information from (as far as this CD is concerned) it's "waay out in left field! Not even close!

Express Burn is a cd creation program. I'm not sure from where it would be taking the info you're seeing. -----Original Message----- From: Pc-audio [mailto:pc-audio-boun...@pc-audio.org] On Behalf Of Tom Kaufman Sent: Thursday, June 26, 2014 2:33 PM To: Pc-audio@pc-audio.org Subject: Guess I Need More Info About Express Burn Hello again list: Okay.so I went and downloaded this "Express Burn".decided to go ahead and try the CD I've been trying to rip. Aw but it acts like it's a whole different CD than what I'm attempting to rip! It's putting names and titles that have aabsolutely _nothing_ to do with this particular CD! So what in the world is going on here? I didn't let it completely rip, but now it'd be something if (had aI let if finish) it gave me the actual songs it was titling, for I can assure yyou that the titles and ar5tists it's coming up with have _nothing_ to do with this here CD! So it looks like I need to get some more information about this CD ripping program.like how to tell it which server I want it to check and such; and hot to tell it the bit rate I want (am finding nothing like that as far as I've been able to tell!
