Importing Audio CD Information from the Internet


Disc Cover can import audio CD information (track list, duration, etc.) from the FreeDB on-line database (http://www.freedb.org/). You should have internet connection to access the database. Note that not all discs have been included in this database yet.

To import data:

  1. Insert an audio CD into the drive and wait until the system mounts it.

  2. Open the Import tab of the Source panel.

  3. Choose Audio CD in the pop-up list. The Import dialog will open (otherwise, click the Import button).

    While Disc Cover receives data, it displays “Connecting to FreeDB.org” in the progress bar.

  4. When the track information appears in the Import dialog, click the Import button. The names of selected files will appear in the Source panel.

  5. Choose an appropriate data format in the Format drop-down list in the Source panel. To create a custom format, choose Custom... See the Custom Format Dialog section for details.

  6. Drag the imported text into the document.


Note: If you drag text from the
Source panel onto existing text, the new text will replace the old one. A blue frame will indicate that text in the text box will be replaced.
