How can we use CDDB instead of YADB?

[KingSparta]

you can't use cddb with MC Or MJ

After looking at Mastiff's website I tried a program called Psychic MP3 (just search on Google).  This is a great little tool that I use for for searching CDDB when YADB doesn't come up trumps.  I wouldn't be without it.  

You can have it do one of 2 things when it finds the album:
1. Update the tags
2. Rename the files

I've found that 1 above is a bit flakey but 2 works perfectly every time.  So I use this and then update properties from filename in MC.

If you do use it please make sure that you help increase the size of the YADB database by uploading these albums after you've tagged them in MC.  (Right click> Library Tools> Submit track info to YADB). Then we'll all benefit in the long run.

Actually submitting track info to yadb will not add the track info to the cd database only the track databse.  They are two separate things.  The only way to add stuff to the CD database is to type the info in when the cd is unrecognized and then submit it.

Are you shure?

You get a cd not in YADb.
Get cd infos from another jukebox.
If you are lucky enought to find how ,MC must go to cdplayer.ini and update the unknow cd.
In this case , in you 'upload to YADB' ,you do not upload the cd database?
