AMG does not provide a public access protocol (such as FreeDB), therefore OrangeCD cannot use it for number of reasons, both technical and legal.

actually guys, AllMusic can show data in a specific format (MARC) that at least 1 competitor to OCD can use with simple cut-and-paste (name of prog. on request...).

PERFECT for adding LPs and tapes!

Don't belive this will include more than the basic info. you can find with FreeDB for CDs, but VERY USEFUL none the less!

Other than that OCD is far superior, but if one can do this trick... ::)

Frank,

Thank you for the information - it is very interesting. I will check on the MARC specification to see whether it can be used.
