Problem with CDDB
« on: July 03, 2002, 08:08:59 am »

I just downloaded and installed trial version of MJB 8.0. Was able to get CDDB to recognize the first CD I played through it. Now I can't get it to recognize any other CD, i.e. I insert a music CD into the machine and up pops my previous CD's tracks. I have activated CDDB and my previous version of MJB worked just fine, I'd see a box pop-up indicating it was fetching info from CDDB. Now nothing. There's something in the on-line manual about hitting an 'update CDDB' button. I don't see this anywhere.

Is there a problem with this release or what am I missing?

Thanks

I Just Tested The Latest Version 8.0.317.

It Works For Me.

When You Put A CD In Click On CD, DVD, & HandHelds

It Should Get The Info Then.

And yet it doesn't for me.

Program posts the first CD I ever put in under this program and won't update. When I right click on the album and go to CDDB update, the entire program hangs. I have to kill it out of Windows. When I bring it up again, I can right click on CDDB Info and the program consults the server and brings back the proper information. But CDDB Update still hangs.

I installed the 318 and had the same problem. Another thread indicates they know they have a problem.

I'll await the next version. Meanwhile my 30 days is running out......


Thanks for your efforts, folks!

Robotonic,
We believe the problem is fixed in 8.0.318.  Exactly what do you see?

I believe I downloaded the .318 version and put it on top of whatever version you had been advertising, which was a .2 something. I noticed no change. I borrowed a CD which was a 'Various Artist' CD and CDDB did make changes the way it should do all the time. Then I borrowed another Various Artist CD and CDDB wouldn't come up at all. I did a power-down reboot and still couldn't get it to work. I tried to do an Uninstall and the program started running then went into a not-responding mode with the graybar at about 70%. I've not had any success uninstalling any further and have abandoned having anything to do with the program for the time being but I'll probably just kill off the J River folder unless you have any better ideas or instructions.

This probably meand I'll not get to try the full program because since I started up MJ8 the clock is running, and by the time you get a working download on the site my option for trying it out will be reduced.

Thanks for hearing me out.

King, please re-read my previous email all the way through. I KNOW what version I was using, it was the latest. I already have tried to uninstall, and it crashed while doing so. I therefore at the present point in time have garbage for MJ8 software and I'm not going to do anything other than try to get it off my system and await a time when a more recent version is available. I don't know how much clearer i can be. I've tried to be as helpful as I can be and that has cost me TIME.

Thanks for trying.
