CDJ does something interesting when it notices that a cataloged CD is=
 no
longer found at its expected location.  It marks the player/disk data=
 in the
CD=92s database entry as missing (-1 in the player entry, =93?=94 in =
the viewable
display, dimmed line in the library display).  When the CD is reinser=
ted
into a player, CDJ is smart enough to update the CD=92s location info=
rmation
should the CD appear in a different location from previous.  It does =
this
without another CDDB lookup so it preserves any database information =
that
might have been added since the original lookup. This is all exactly =
right
IMHO.

The glitch is where a CD is permanently removed from the collection. =
 CDJ
keeps the ghost entry around forever and offers no mechanism that I c=
an find
to remove the entry.  I=92ve been forced to go directly into Access a=
nd
manually remove the CD entry from the disk table and the track entrie=
s from
the track table.  Is there a way to do this?  If not, couldn=92t CDJ =
have a
command to remove a disk=92s database entries (including tracks) when=
 that CD
was no longer to be included in the database?  I could envision it as
another entry in the disk=92s right-click menu or alternately as an o=
ption in
the library menu.

Cheers,
Ron
