Basically I just want to know if I am missing something.

I know that OCD will get info from Amazon and CDDB. So far all I see so far is basic info about the album. Sometimes I get an album review. But I never get any info about the musicans, ( you know who played what) or guest artists, or lyrics.

So.... what can OCD get and what are there any tools to help with the rest?

Thanks for any enlightment while waiting for documentation...

Hi Fred,

Both Amazon and FreeDB only offer limited information about the albums: artists, composers, titles, genres and release dates. Neither offers lyrics (which is copyrighted anyway) or musician info.

But may be You can include in OCD some kind of cooperation with 3d party soft like EvilLyrics (www.evillabs.sk/evillyrics/)?

Hi Alex

As I mentioned already, lyrics are copyrighted and allowing them to download, file or publish automatically means asking for trouble :( I understand it is a disappointment, but this is how it works...

In past 10 years there were numerous lyrics databases on the web but they all are gone by now... I doubt evillyrics will survive for long.

I'm sorry, Andrei, for some advert, but now AutoLyrix http://autolyrix.sourceforge.net/ has some support for OrangeCD. I did not tested clearly, but it looks like working!
