The Network preferences are used to control Internet-based features of Audion.

CD Database Settings

This section contains preferences relating to CDDB™ lookups.

Look up CD information:
When you insert a CD, Audion can get the track and title information via the Internet. This pop-up menu controls when Audion should perform this lookup:

•	Only for unknown CDs If the CD is not stored in the CD Title Storage cache file, then fetch the data from CDDB™.
•	Always Retrieve the data from CDDB™ no matter what.
•	Never Do not try to fetch the data from CDDB™. A good choice if you are not connected to the Internet.

If there are multiple matches:
It is possible that CDDB™ may have multiple guesses as per what CD you have inserted. When this happens, Audion can:

•	Pick the closest match
•	Ask which one to use This will open a dialog box allowing you to pick the correct match, which will be stored in the CD Title Storage cache for future reference.

CDDB Server:
Allows you to type the name of a CDDB™ server. If you don't know the name of a server, click the Lookup button to retrieve a list of all available servers, and pick the one closest to you.

E-Mail Address:
CDDB™ needs your E-Mail address in order to perform lookups. If you wish to remain anonymous, you can enter an imaginary address such as "email@domain.com" in this text box.

Stream Guide Settings

This section contains preferences related to the Stream Guide window.

Use this server list:
There are five lists available that Audion can download to fill our the Stream Guide window. Use this pop-up menu to select the list you want; obviously, the All Servers list will be quite long and may take a while to download! The lists update every five minutes on Panic servers.

Other Network Settings

This section contains miscellaneous network settings.

Use Audion as helper application for Internet MP3 files:
Associates Audion with .MP3, and .PLS files, allowing you to simply click a streaming server/MP3 link in your web browser to have it play in Audion. Audion associates these file types using Internet Config, which can be adjusted in your Internet control panel.

Open the Internet control panel for me.

Netscape Communicator™ does not use Internet Config, and as such requires special work to set up Audion as a helper:

1	Open the Edit menu and choose Preferences.
2	Click on the Applications category on the left hand side fo the Preferences window, under Navigator.
3	Click the New button.
3	Enter MPEG Audio Stream in the Description box.
4	Enter audio/x-scpls in the MIME Type box.
5	Enter pls in the Suffixes box.
6	Click the Choose button, and select Audion.
7	Select Plst from the File type pop-up menu.
8	Uncheck the Macintosh File box.
