    Default What are my Import options?

    I'm looking to start with OCD and I like to impot my current Vinyl collection from a selfmade Access DB.
    In this database I have different tabels:
    -Albums: Albumname, Year, Artist, Cover (boolean), Label, Note, Language, Condition, Media (LP, 2LP...)
    - 7": similar with a few extra fields.
    - 12": similar with a few extra fields.

    What are my best option to import these records in OCR?
    After the import is there a kind of automated way to:
    -add covers?
    -add track to the albums?
    -add extra info like, reviews, links, lirycs,....

    Your best bet is to send your .mdb file to [email]orangecd@firetongue.com[/email]. We don't have generic import from Access databases, but depending on the structure of your database, there's 90% chance that it can be converted. (At no charge, of course.)

    -add covers?
    Yes, using Download CD covers menu command.

    -add track to the albums?
    Unfortunately, no. To get track information, you'll have to re-add albums using Amazon or FreeDB lookup.

    -add extra info like, reviews, links, lirycs,....
    You can add these details too, but not automatically. However, if you decide to gradually re-add albums using Amazon or FreeDB lookup, you'll get some reviews from Amazon automatically.

    Okay thanks, I'm starting to see clear now.
    Thanks for the offer on importing my mdb-file.

    about adding tracks to my imported albums:
    if I understand this allright, importing would be of no much use then, if I can't add tracks with FreeDB afterwards?
    I understand that for LP's I will have to do a manually search on freeDB since they don't have a unique CD code. But will I be able to add tracks and other info from FreeDB... when the album is imported without tracks?
