Do WindowsMediaplayer-Easycd creator-RealJukebox and our jukebox use all of them CDDB?
If yes,why on a test of 100 cds-more or less-not madona,but indie
WindowsMediaplayer around 40% answers-if not only 30-
Easycd Creator a little more,let say 40-50% answer
MediaJukebox around 80%,but with around 20% of this 80% with a screen with "many options"
RealJukebox around 98% with only a few "many options"
this IS NOT a complaint concerning MediaJukebox.It is just that i do not understand

listening to Terry Lee Hale -frontier model-  Months since i heard something so god
MHorton,Karolus8,plung ....laxy,and make your credit card ready...................

Media Player - No
Easycd creator - They did but not now due to a contract dispute
Real Jukebox - I think so

I have found on downloaded files that you may get a 30% hit on CDDB and that is due to the way the file name was saved in and or missing fields in the ID3 Tag. or just plain miss spelled.

if your mp3 is named "Artist - Title" you will get more hits

the other thing is, CDDB would rather ID3v2 tags be saved with the CDDB dll, since when found it will save a ID Tag inside the ID3v2 tag so that it will be faster, and also a fuzzy match of the file would not be required.

about the CD match, a CD-Rom may be released many times, and there maybe minor things that will change the search. like if 1 of the 12 songs on the cd-rom was cut off by 1 second this changes the TOC. then the service would not find it, and a user would need to type it in.
