    Very interesting!

    I have been loading new CDs by clicking on the "Scan CD Rom Drive" icon. This usually gets full info from freedb, but for some CDs, like this one, I just get a
    "New Artist::New Title" entry.

    But if I then click on "Download CD Info", it updates that record and everything looks fine. I didn't expect that would be needed.

    So I have a workaround. But "Scan CD Rom Drive" should always download info, right?

    (Session log for "Download CD Info" is attached.)

    Well,after scanning a few hundreds cd`s with OCD there is
    a small percentage that is not correct read out. Sometimes
    the track listing is correct but the cover pic and notes (if any)
    are wrong (i mean from a different artist or group) and the CD
    is a "New CD" or "My CD". The grabber CDex for example is
    somewhat more reliable in that respect.
    Realy problematic are only compilations. Occasionaly a scanned
    compilation makes a real mess and in the Album-List by listing every
    Track as a new CD with one track.
