Importing from FreeDB

Disc Cover can import audio CD information (track list, duration, etc.) from a on-line database — FreeDB (http://www.freedb.org/). You should have an Internet connection to access the database.
Note that some discs may be not included in the 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 on the Source panel (Window > Import > Files and Data).

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

    While Disc Cover receives data, the “Connecting to FreeDB.org” message and a progress bar are displayed.

  4. When the track information is loaded and shown in the Import dialog, click the Import button.

    If you select some lines in the track list, only these lines will be imported.

  5. Drag the imported text into the document.
    To change its format, use the Format drop-down list on the Source panel. To create a custom format, choose the Custom... item at the bottom of the Format list.
    See the Custom Format Dialog section for details.


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.
