K, been having fun this week ripping some of the better stuff in my old vinyl collection (boy, there's some embarrasments in there )
Now, in the sound recorder dialogues, you can enter the artist/album info and then ask MC to check YADB for possible track names. Brilliant, worked pretty well for me

So, from the main media library view, say I select an albums worth of files, all tagged with the correct track #, artist and album info, but only generic "track01" etc. track names, then from tools, I ask MC to lookup the track info, it always seems to fail. I tested this out on an album that had returned the correct track names for the sound recorder, and it failed too.

So, at least for the album mentioned above, I know for a fact YADB has the info as MC was able to retrieve it for the sound recorder.
How do I get MC to retrieve (and apply) that same information from the standard library view/tools?

The track lookup is different from the CD lookup -- two different sets of data.  The track database is a lot newer and still filling up.  You can help if you have well tagged tracks by submitting them.

I think I have a full set of early Beach Boys somewhere.
