CDDB Category change is ignored

[mbenzi]

I have been adding alot of cd singles lately and having mucho trouble. I mention the fact that these are cd singles because it seems the fewer the tracks on a disc the greater the chances of an ID collision. Here is what happened:
I inserted a new cd and did a CDDB lookup.
It came back with a match but it was incorrect.
I then entered all the correct info. The entry came in with the category set to ROCK which I then set to REGGAE (I knew there was no entry for for REGGAE because I created a tool to look this up in cases like this, I said it happens alot).
I re-submitted the entry and got the message that it had been sent.
A few minutes later I get the email a that says:

Your freedb submission was rejected for the following reason:

Discid collision in category rock
....

It had ignored my category change. Is there a reason it is doing this? I understand you dont want users looking up an entry, changing just the category, and re-submitting. But these two discs have completely different TOC's

# Track frame offsets:
# 150
# 19137
#
# Disc length: 475 seconds
vs.
# Track frame offsets:
# 150
# 17794
#
# Disc length: 475 seconds


I suppose I could work out a process to submit this without doing the lookup first. But is that the best way to handle these?

Thanks for you attention.

Interesting. Have you tried contacting FreeDB or posting the same question to the FreeDB Forum ([url]http://www.freedb.org/cgi-bin/ib31/ikonboard.cgi[/url])?

How about trying to register the same CD single from a different FreeDB-aware application - just in order to see if the same thing happens then.

Yes I can upload the entry in other applictions. In fact I now have a workaround in OrangeCD.
1. I have to delete the wrong entry.
2. Turn off the auto-lookup option
3. Put the CD into the Drive,
4. Enter the info. (with an unused category)
5. Upload to CDDB
