Most drives don't support the reading of cd-text information so you have to use the number of frames from beginning of cd to calculate a disk ID you look up in database. The details are of course on freedb.freedb.org along with some software to serve out the database. Once the songs are in mp3 files it is often too late to get info because you loose the TOC information that was on the cd. Regards, Kerry.
