On Line Database Doesn't Show

[ddouglass]

The current online database is a redirect from FreeDB (http://www.freedb.org/). This is a user input database of all types of CDs including CDGs. So it is only as accurate as the users inout to it.
I do know that MTU has been negotiating with a couple of companies that keep these kinds of lists to try to get a more accurate and current database, but I don't know what the status of that is. Admin would have to provide any additional info.

Thank you ddouglas for that info.. it's no suprise with so many discs out there that errors occur. it's still a very useful tool. and it's smart to double check anyway.. IMHO.

I don't believe it's all errors either.

Ever notice that the order the tracks are in on a CDG in a the Manufacturer's catalog does not always agree with the order the tracks are in on the disc you get?

Hmmmm...could we be intentionally foiling those who are trying to sell databases made from the material our publications?

There was quite a bit of discussion about this on the forums a few years back.
