There is NO LONGER a problem using TCP/IP protocol, the database host

If you've attempted to add a CD to your collection by putting it in
your CD/DVD-ROM drive then clicking the Add CD button but received
a "Socket error #1006x" error message, try this:

Bring up the Properties Form (by clicking on the button with the
Tools image), then select HTTP protocol instead of TCP/IP.  CD Czar
uses proxy information from IE (Internet Explorer) Version 5 or
later, so be sure your proxy settings are correctly setup
there  (Tools|Internet Options|Connections|LAN Settings).  If you
must enter a user name and password on your intranet, check
the "authentication required" option, otherwise leave it unchecked
(if in doubt, try with unchecked first). When you are done, click the
OK button.

This is a (hopefully temporary) problem with the third-party database
host Freedb.  I have notified Freedb of the problem, hopefully you
will be able to use either protocol again soon.

We apologize for the inconvenience.

at least the artist or title. For more info see the help file entries

Version 5.1 of CD Czar has just been released, and the AMG site is
again available by following the new color-coded instructions for the
site.  This choice comes up when you click Add Other, or when you
click Add CD when the CD in your drive is not in Freedb's database.

Version 5.1 also adds an option to use UPC bar code search.  You can
either type in the UPC, or scan it with :cue:cat.  Yes, that's the
cat shaped scanner that was given away through Radio Shack a few
years ago.  Now you'll finally have a use for it!  Before using
the :cue:cat with CD Czar, check out this help page:
http://www.zipcon.net/~highroad/CDCzar/scan.html

Next week all registered users, regardless of when purchased, will
receive instructions on how to download a free upgrade to this new

The All Music Guide site (AMG) mentioned on the screen that comes up
when you click on "Add Other" seems to no longer support the method
described for use with it, so please use one of the othter sources
listed for now.  We complied completely with their terms of use, so
are disappointed they did this, but I guess it's their site and they
can do whatever they what.  Any updates to this situation will be
posted in this forum.

Hi Larry,

Although CD Czar doesn't have a specific function to read cD-Text,
since you have Nero you can just read that info with Nero and "copy
and paste" it into CD Czar after clicking the "Add Other" button.
Kinda the reverse of what I suggested before!  I lifted the following
instruction from the Nero manual:

"6.5.6.2 Viewing CD-Text information
Insert an Audio CD into the recorder.
Select the Save Tracks option from the Recorder menu and choose the
drive you require.
Now view the information you want in the `Title' and `Artist'
columns."

Hi Robert,

I was able to link to Albums.dbf using the "Visual Foxpro Tables"
Machine Data Source and selecting the ID field as the unique
identifier. The browser function for selecting the source directory
was broken for me. Typing the path name fails and the folder list in
the browser does not update when I scroll but I was able to select
the correct source folder 'cause the names on the list changed as I
selected them. This issue may be specific to my graphics card...

For what ever reason this link proceedure did not function at first
but true joy was fully realized subsequent to reboot ritual.. face
Redmond, say 10 ODBC's and all hail the Bill.

Thank you sir. Looks like I'll buy into your CDzar. At least until I
get into development of a direct freedb link myself. I do wish you
would move on to Access though!

I found these instructions at the Microsoft Support Site at:
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=KB;en-us;q225861

I have copied the pertinent part below.  PLEASE LET ME KNOW if this is
confusing or difficult, if it is I will go ahead and create the
utility to make a memo-less copy of Albums for Access 2000 ("Notes" is
the memo field in the Albums file, by the way).  If I don't hear from
you, I will assume the information below is sufficient and won't
create the utility.  As I said before, I don't have a copy of Access
2000 so can't evaluate it myself.  Thank you very much for alerting me
to this problem with Access2000, and here are the Microsoft
instructions:

ACC2000: No Option to Import, Link, or
                        Export to the FoxPro File Type

                        The information in this article applies to:

                             Microsoft Access 2000

                         This article was previously published under
Q225861
                         This article applies only to a Microsoft

interoperability
                         skills.

                        SYMPTOMS

                         In the Import, Export, and Link dialog boxes
in Microsoft
                         Access 2000, FoxPro is not listed as an option
for file type.

                        CAUSE

                         The Microsoft FoxPro ISAM driver is no longer
included with
                         Microsoft Access.

                        RESOLUTION

                         To import from, link to, and export to
Microsoft FoxPro, use the
                         Visual FoxPro ODBC driver, as demonstrated in
the following
                         steps.

                         Import from FoxPro

                             Click Start, point to Settings, and then
click Control
                             Panel.
                             In Control Panel, open the ODBC Data
Sources (32-bit)
                             tool, and add a new ODBC Data Source for
your FoxPro
                             database or tables by selecting the
appropriate Microsoft
                             Visual FoxPro driver.
                             Open the Access database that you want to
import into.
                             On the File menu, point to Get External
Data, and then
                             click Import.
                             In the Import dialog box, click ODBC
Databases in the
                             Files of type list.
                             In the Select Data Source dialog box,
select the Visual
                             FoxPro data source that you created in
step 2, and then
                             click OK.
                             In the Import Objects dialog box, select
the tables that
                             you want to import, and then click OK.

Hi,

I am plinking around with CDCzar and like what I see! One attractive

Hi Jim,

During the first week of the new year we will be sending an email to
all registered users with the link to obtain the latest version.  We
are planning one more minor enhancement before then.

Thank you for registering CD Czar.

HighRoad Software

When you click Add CD and it's not in the Freedb database, a form
should come up to search other sites.  The best is the AMG site, it is
rare they don't list a CD.  Just follow the color-coded instructions
for AMG and you still won't have to type in all the tracks, all you
have to do is find the album at AMG and follow the instructions.

Merry Christmas!
