Just got done ripping over 4200 files for over 300 CD's.

Near the end, I ran into something strange (I think)...

I was dreading ripping the 10 Planet Music Free Sampler CD's that I had done before with Real One's player in CDDB database.

I previously had to enter all the information for all 10 CD's in CDDB & expected that I would have to do the same for YADB.

Much to my supprise all but one of the CD's were already in the YADB databace.  They all looked like my handywork as I have a certain way of entering data.

So... the quiestion begs to be asked...
Does YADB get some of it's data from CDDB?

If not, how did my Planet Music Free Samplers get there?

[JimH]

No, definitely not.  Maybe you submitted them to YADB?

What happened:
Somebody else looked up "your" CD's in YADB: No hit
They switched to CDDB: Hit
They switched back to YADB
They submitted "your" data to YADB

Hi Jim:

> Maybe you submitted them to YADB?<

No. Only submitted to CDDB.


Hi Dobon;

Your answer sounds logical & makes sence.  That may be why only 9 of the 10 CD's were on YADB.  The other user may not of had the 10th CD.

If a CD-lookup fails in YADB, try it on another computer where you keep an earlier version of MJ8. If lucky you get the tags from CDDB, clean them and submit them to YADB. Then take CD back to first pc, get tags from YADB and rip CD.

Thanks dobon;

I'm done ripping for now (ALL my CD's are ripped, finally).

Me Typing: Hello World!

Sue Typing: Hello World!

looks the same to me, Maybe if i try another font

Me Typing: Hello World!

Sue Typing: Hello World!


Nope, still looks the same.

Maybe you submited them to CDDB, and someone else got it from CDDB and submited it to FreeDB then someone got it from FreeDB and Submitted it to YADB.

King,

They "look" the same but the sound of the each sentence when spoken flows better with Sue's. Her sentence seems to be more grammatically correct. Was she an English major?
