I'll give that a try, thanks but I'm not sure how it will give me the UI without the cd inserted into a drive.
I've also noticed that it's easy to confuse MC9 by removing and re-inserting the disk having cancelled the manual track data dialog. Sometimes MC9 won't recognise that there's an audio disk back in the drive, it thinks its a data cd.
If I quit MC9 and re-run it then the disk is recognised as as audio. I can't do anything else to get it back. Also, from time to time, a cd drive will get stuck thinking that whatever disk is installed is data and not audio and I have to re-boot Win2k to get it back.
What would be totally ideal would be an "eject CD" button on the manual track data dialog, or better still just not cancelling the dialog if the cd is ejected and allowing the database update to complete. I'd be happy to reinsert the disk and manually update it from the data base after the track data had been submitted.
Otherwise, so far, great product!
Sorry to go on but with 1700 cds to go I'm probably going to have to enter over 200 into your data base based on the current hit rate, so what may be an obscure way of using MC9 becomes a huge frustration.
I know it's been covered elsewhere but I'd be happy to pay an additional fee to be able to use cddb. It's had 100% hit rate on the disks which your db has missed so far. I've used it in the past with so other software so yes - I've previously contributed quite a few track listings into it in the past, which means I don't feel bad about taking from it now. It's just a frustration that I need to make (even more) contributions to use the otherwise excellent MC9.
Thanks!
