Not Acquring Info....

[Guest]

Sometimes, OrangeCD is not acquiring info from FreeCD even though the information is there. Why would this be? I can only imagine that some CDs have different "reference numbers" in different parts of the work.

An example of a CD which has info on FreeCD but not acquired by OrangeCD is :

Various Artists / Slow 'n' Moody, Black 'n' Bluesy

one reason could be that you are querieng freedb over http and not with the standard cddb protocol.
the web based thingie is not being updated at this time (they seem to be working on a new version).

you can tell orangecd to use the cddb proto in the options dialog.

Hitesh,

unfortunately, this is the case when there is no such entry is database... The CD you're attempting to download has 24 tracks, and the CD that is already in FreeDB database, has only 22 tracks.

There is nothing OrangeCD can do, as it is impossible to guess what the missing tracks are
