CDDB InformationCDDB information will retrieve the Album Name, Artist Name, and Track Information of the currently loaded audio CD from the online CD database.
Using CDDB Blaze Media Pro uses the CDDB2 Disc Recognition ServiceSM (DRS) from CDDB, Inc. to get the artist, title, track, credit, and other information about the CDs you play. This service is FREE and automatic. The first time you use the service, you must register with CDDB.
To register with CDDB, enable CDDB support when converting CD tracks or access the CDDB Information option from the main window's File menu. The first time you attempt to retrieve information from the CDDB database, the CDDB Registration Wizard appears automatically. Follow the screens for a "New Registration" to select a "nickname" and password. The remaining information is optional, but does help CDDB provide better service. Once you register, you do not have to re-register, unless you want to change your registration information or settings.
To change your CDDB registration information, select the CDDB Registration Information item from the File Menu of the CD Track Converter or CDDB Information window, and follow the screen prompts, making the appropriate changes.
