1kyle Posted April 16, 2006 Report Share Posted April 16, 2006 (edited) A little trick for people importimg to SS with eventual transfer to MD with Track and Album info.Sometimes the Gracenote CDDB doesn't have the CD info and it's often a pain to submit new info.Easy way to often find this info is to use NERO and import the CD as WAV into a temporary folder. Selecting USE INTERNET DB NERO searches through more music databases such as FREEDB and can usually find the track info.Now having got the track info etc as WAV files import into SS.Finally you can transfer to MD with track info etc.Cheers-K Edited April 16, 2006 by 1kyle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stuge Posted April 16, 2006 Report Share Posted April 16, 2006 (edited) Sometimes the Gracenote CDDB doesn't have the CD info and it's often a pain to submit new info.Yeah,This has happened with me also quite a few times like they don`t have the info about this album Chart Attack 97 .etc Edited April 16, 2006 by stuge Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MDX-400 Posted April 16, 2006 Report Share Posted April 16, 2006 Yeah,This has happened with me also quite a few times like they don`t have the info about this album Chart Attack 97 .etcYeah Gracenote CDDB blows beacuse of the whole v2.0 and licensing fees fiasco. It also adds some cost to all of the Sony products that use/come packaged with SS, no doubt. Why Sony didn't use FreeDB I have no clue. I guess it's just corporations scratching each others backs--the rich get richer, LOL... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pata2001 Posted April 16, 2006 Report Share Posted April 16, 2006 (edited) Also, if your CDs already have CD-TEXT info in them, you can use CD-TEXT manager to export the CD info from the CD-TEXT to Sonicstage's database. Do this before running sonicstage. Very useful if you have many custom/self-made mix CDs with CD-TEXT.

Provided your CD drive does of course (which they all can these days anyhow).The only thing I noticed when I use SS to read a CD-Text disc is the fact that even if the disc has small letters in it, all the letters will be uppercased when SS reads it...
