Does MC 11 offer other sources of getting album information than YADB. It is weak in this area.  Many of my albums do not get infomation on YADB, but I can get the same information when I-Tunes reads the CD.  I'm encoding a lot of albums and it is tiresome trying to find out what some of the titles are when the YADB does not recognize the CD.  I just wonder if there is a work around with Media Center 11 on this topic.  Thanks.

No, there is no work around.  However, once you rip from the itnues db, please update to the yadb.

Are these store-bought CDs or home-burned CDs?

YADB performs really well for me. What CDs is it failing on for you? Popular? Obscure? Give me more details and I'll find out what's going on.

I just re-ripped the bulk of my collection (I've only a banker's box of them left to go) and have only had a handful fail.  However, there have been a few times I've had to do the lookup a second time to find a cd.  If you get a failure you might try right clicking the CD and selecting Update from CD Database.  And please let us know if that helps.
