On Line Database Doesn't Show

[JohnD]

Hi:
I recently upgraded to the Hoster v3.316
Now when I attempt to upload a disc the data base says there's no information, even tho the disc IS listed
[i.e.- NorthStar Country NSC 0312]
I AM on line and using the external Plextor PX760A I purchased from MTU
and an external 120g hard drive
Any ideas??

[JohnD]

Just tried again..
Made sure the ext.hd was attached and recognized.
Save to folder selected..
Plextor recognized.
Disc inserted.
Then entered Brand and DiscID from the dropdown windows
and after a few seconds recieved this message...

[The Online Database did not retutn any information.
Please enter a Brand and DiscID before continuing]

Then Hoster loaded the 18 songs
with blanks for me to type in the info.

Have you tried the built in(local) database?

NorthStar Country NSC3012 is listed there.

[JohnD]

Thank you George...
I had tried that a while ago,
rechecked my settings then fixated on the online db
Just tried and your suggestion worked.

Still... shouldn't the online db be working?

[George]

For ON LINE database info, you put a disc in the drive and click ADD TRACKS ONLINE DATABASE. DO NOT MAKE ANY ENTRIES REGARDING BRAND OR DISC I.D.

I just tested the on line database and it worked fine here.

Must of the music I purchased today is only 2-3 months old and never in the database anyway. I just tried using it on six Chartbuster disc. It was only able to find one cd and it came back with the wrong cd title and all the artist were labeled as Chartbuster. It did have the title of the songs correct though.

For me the database is pretty much useless.

When you have 1200+ discs to input, it really is helpful. But I agree that is is woefully behind current labels.. Another thing--- I noticed quite a few with incorrect labeling.. right songs and artists, but not the correct order. So I made a point of reading the disc before I put it into the reader. But for the most, it deffinately saved a lot of typing.

It seems strange that both itunes and windows media player found these six disc just fine but Hoster could not.
