[slinkelist] CDDB Lookup problems

[George Tang]

Yes, CDJ will only look at the number of tracks and the total time on the
disc.  So there is a possibility of more than one disc to have the same
information.  CDDB, however, also looks at the length of each track.  Colby
and David at Nirvis are aware of this limitation.  But I don't know when
they will fix this.  So far only a handful of disk are having problem.  In
your case, you'll probably only encounter this once.

George,

Thanks for the response.  I did find a similar message on the BBS, but the
confusing part for me is that CDJ and CDDB will return the correct CD
artist/tracks when only one of the two dics are in the player.  If both
discs
are the player, CDJ gets confused.

What I don't understand is why can CDJ using CDDB correctly determine an
exact
match for each CD, yet CDJ thinks they are the same?  Is CDJ's unique id not
including the same information the CDDB is using?

I'm really reluctant to just burn a copy.  From my point of view, if I
wanted to
go through all of that headache, I might as well just RIP my collection to
MP3.
I choose CDJ because it would be "simpler".

Thanks

Patrick
