YADB CD lookup - try again?
« on: December 14, 2004, 01:25:18 am »

I apologize if this has been asked already, but i didn't find it when searching...

Is there some way to tell MC (using MC10) to try again on the CD lookup? I don't mind adding albums to the DB when they're not found, but sometimes it seems like it should've been found, and it leaves me wondering if there was a network error or something.

Seems like there should be a toolbar button or a keyboard command for this...?

What would be nice is if the retry was automatic.
Many times I see the information so I know it's there. But a network error occurs at which point all of the info gets wiped out and I end up with unknown album etc. At some level it knows that the info is there because it then proceeds to rip the cd which is more than a pain if I am not paying attention.

it is, it does a local search on the local ini file of the last search

you need to force it if you wish a fresh search

Sorry I'm confused.

I put a new CD in to rip.
Under Drives and Devices I see the albumn and track list come up correctly.
The lookup process is still doing something during which a communication error occurs.
All of the album and track information gets wiped out and if I'm not watching closely the rip process starts with unknown album, artist etc.
I know the information is in the database because I saw it load and if I do a manual lookup it finds it.
MC knows it's there because it doesn't give me the submit information prompt.

When I say it would be nice if the retry was automatic I mean if it knows the data is there keep trying until you get it.

Any ideas why the lookup is failing? I don't think it should be trying to lookup the info in YADB if it already has it, so something is going on here that I don't understand.
