trevor – the value in music is in the.. er.. music. Not the file or format on which it is obtained (he said, trying to sound artistic). No?

Baxter – I played with that a while ago (like 2 years ago?) and couldn’t really get used to it for some reason. But probably my fault, will have another look though, cheers for the reminder!

The next step is to sell all your CDs on Amazon and spend the money on a holiday or something. MP3 are just a more convenient way of having your music.

If I was buying music (which I don’t ) I would always buy a CD as this has some interent value, where as a itunes downloaded MPÂ£ doesn’t

Yes, I know iTunes uses CDDB, so did WinAmp.

My point is that it’s part of the “insert CD and forget about it” workflow. So is a good thing. My manual tagging days were purely to automate the filenaming (using Tag & Rename) which did require some tidying up of the tags by hand, AFTER getting them from CDDB.

anx – yeah iTunes isn’t perfect, but what software solution is? It works for me, so I guess this post comes with a large YMMV!

The tagging of the files has very little to do with Apple. It accesses the CDDB (Gracenote) as it’s known now.

Much as I like Apple the shiny bundle of cleverness is not theirs.

Unless they’ve bought it and I’ll stand corrected.

That said the database pre-dates the iPod and iTunes.
