Get CD track information (freedb)
By online FreeDB query you can get complete title informations for an imported CD from the internet.
The query is based on the exact combination of title lengths in a given order for a number of tracks. This
is also working with tracks separately loaded into the the project (as MP3
files, for instance). The single play times of the tracks can even differ by some seconds, mostly the
correct CD is recognized anyway.
Just put your Audio
CD into the disc drive and select "Get CD track information (freedb").
CD info options
Here you can start different advanced options for "freedb CD Database".
FreeDB > Submit CD to FreeDB
You can add CDs in the online CD database. The enormous FreeDB project exists courtesy of the
contributions made by worldwide users.
If you have a CD that is not in the database, you can enter the CD information.
Make sure the right CD is in the drive.
Select "Enter New CD in FreeDB "
Enter the information, double-checking the details for possible errors.
Press "OK"
Within an hour or two, the new information will be online for everybody to access.
Freedb user preferences
User info is entered here for MAGIX Music Editor 3 to use when freedb is queried. Of course, using
freedb is completely anonymous, but freedb often has to process several queries at once, so an i.d. is
assigned to identify the user. If you have problems accessing info, maybe someone is using the same data;
you can change the settings to avoid this problem.
Freedb proxy options...
If you are having difficulties connecting to the freedb server, then you can choose another server from
the list, or you can increase the "timeout" value. An increased work load causes the server to react slowly
and a connection cannot be made properly.
FreeDB > Delete FreeDB Cache
The FreeDB online database creates a cache on your hard disk, containing all data available via the
FreeDB button
. This allows you to access the data without having to go online. You can of course delete the cache,
should it contain false data or when up-to-date current data is available.
