Recording CDs when disconnected from the Internet

If your computer is disconnected from the Internet and you insert a CD into the CD-ROM drive, the track titles are numbered because CDDB information cannot be downloaded. How- ever, you can record the CD and get CDDB information the next time you go on the Internet.

The next time you connect to the Internet, select the CD player, insert any CD and click the Get Track Info button. This automatically updates the Wave/PC™ database with CDDB infor- mation for all previously recorded CDs. Now, when you use the Music Files player to find these recorded tracks, they will no longer be numbered, but have actual titles.

Playing your recorded CD tracks

After recording your CDs, click the Music Files button to find your recorded tracks and start playing them. See “Selecting the Music Files player” on page 27 for instructions.

Playing MP3 CDs

To play MP3 files from a CD, insert the CD into the CD-ROM drive and click the CD button. The MP3 files found on the CD will be displayed in the music finder window. See the example in Figure 17.

Click the plus sign [+] to open an album or collection of MP3 music. Select the file you want to play and click the Play Selection button. The file currently playing is highlighted.

Using CDDB

The Wave/PC interactive audio system 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, the Wave/PC software application automatically registers you with CDDB. You do not have to re-register, unless you want to change your registration information or settings.

To change your CDDB registration information:
