If a hundred of us burn the same cd.

Do each burned cd would have his own 'identity' ?
I mean silence between tracks not the same time and so on.

And if all of us want to get cd infos putting the burned cd,is it possible that each of us would have to upload infos to YADB because we do not get infos from it?
And YADB would have 101 entrys for the same cd?
100 burned + the original

Hi Zevele,

It is better to use individual track lookup in this case.

IMHO, users should not submit burned CDR's to any CD database. It only loads up their database and for what purpose somebody would submit them, is beyond me.

i guess you don't understand how it works. it does not save any info to the users database wheninfo is submited.

1. so they can retreave data for there files if they need to
2. to help others out

some people like to help other people

many people do not know that a burned cd is not like a original one.

Now there is many raisons why they may upload them.
To help ,not knowing that a burned is not like an original
to get songs names when they play they cds
Or even not giving a dam about all of it . Just paying $30+ for a jukebox and just wanting to get songs names when playing a cd .
On my side i can understand any of this raisons , and  i DO want to get songs names when playing a burning cd

Do not forget that ,many times, you do not get cds infos for a burned cd ,even if the original cd in the dataFirst

I can't do much about it , so I don't mind. It doesn't clutter the db as much as you think it would (there's a cool little routine that identifies copies and merges their info).

And it does have a couple of nice bonuses:
1 - if two users burn the same CD with the same software, the second one will benefit.
2 - once I get the fuzzy matching working better, as long as the burned is close to the original, it'll be identified.

JG-

Wouldn't EAC's CDImage and splitting based on indexes make an exact copy? I know for a fact that stand alone burners can make a duplicate that is easily pulled up from CDDB. At least when that was available. I think YADB gathers the same info as well.
