Good idea. Or maybe there could be a setting to hide these entries so =
that you don't have to look at them in the interface (library list), but =
that if you got another disk player and the disk came back, you would =
not have to type in any corrections or customizations to the disc =
information again. I hate losing information, but I agree with not =
having these entries clutter up the library list. Just some more =
suggestions to clutter up the to do list :-)

Subject: [slinkelist] CDJ database updates, especially deletions
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's database entry as missing (-1 in the player entry, "?" in =
the viewable display, dimmed line in the library display). When the CD =
is reinserted into a player, CDJ is smart enough to update the CD's =
location information 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.
=20
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 =
can find to remove the entry. I've been forced to go directly into =
Access and manually remove the CD entry from the disk table and the =
track entries from the track table. Is there a way to do this? If not, =
couldn't CDJ have a command to remove a disk's 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's =
right-click menu or alternately as an option in the library menu.
