Guest Adz Om Posted June 20, 2002 Share Posted June 20, 2002 i was just playing my copy of 'Outside the Reactor' compilation in Windows Media Player and the track listings were for the 'Trip through Sound' compilation and i dont even have that cd, also that was a later release than OTR, hmm... any ideas? im sure this has happened to you before with other cds.

mars Posted June 20, 2002 Share Posted June 20, 2002 mp3s contain hidden strings (ID3 tag) with several pieces of information on the track..provided you fill them. so you can have a FILE title different from the TAG title. btw this is the last time i answer mp3 questions. please read the thread about that above this one in the list Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Adz Om Posted June 20, 2002 Share Posted June 20, 2002 this is a CD original, not MP3. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Bor Posted June 20, 2002 Share Posted June 20, 2002 This system works just like the CDDB-plugin in Winamp (when playing cd's). The program reads unique data from the cd and sends a query to the database on internet. As a reply on the query the database sends back the cd-data like title and tracknames. This system works perfect ... at least on the CDDB system i know (the cd-player of windows uses a seperate system provided by Miscrosoft, so not CDDB). So you can blame M$ ;-))) ... or it's just a data-entry error. These databases are data-entried by normal people who can make mistakes ... just like us. :-) Maybe you should try another cd-player who queries CDDB-databases. Winamp 2.80 can also play cd's and uses CDDB ... Download it at www.winamp.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
