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:
- Insert an audio CD into the drive and wait until the system mounts it.
- Open the Import tab of the Source panel.
- 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.
- When the track information appears in the Import dialog, click the Import button. The names of selected files will appear in the Source panel.
- 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.
- 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.
