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!

I have a number of CDs that have a text table of contents that
Windows Media Player reads and displays, but that are not in the
online database.  ini2czar.exe does not detect them in the
cdplayer.ini file.  Is there a way to easily transfer this
information to CDCzar, short of cutting and pasting each track
individually?

Thanks,

Terry

Yes, on the Edit Form click on "Edit Notes".
You will then see buttons for "Add Extended Data"
for both the album as a whole and for individual tracks.
Adding the extended data in this way will cause it to be included if you
submit the data to the the remote database if this is an album not already
there.

After you have entered the extended data,
you can see it at any time on the main screen
by highlighting the desired album in the grid
and clicking on the "info" button in the yellow toolbox.
For more detail on these tasks, see the on-line help file at:

Thanks, and write back if you have any further questions or problems.

This software has much of what I've been looking for to catalog, but
it does not seem to contemplate classical music.  Is there any way to
edit the input form to list (1) composer; (2) conductor; (3)
orchestra; and (4) soloists?

Thanks for your help

If you haven't done so already, on CD Czar's main screen click the Tools
button for Options and choose HTTP protocol.

CD Czar uses proxy information from IE (Internet Explorer) Version 5 or
later (get free update from Microsoft's site if necessary), 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).

As for your second question, depending on the third party product use
Open or Import go get Access or Excel to read CD Czar's Foxpro style
dbase files.  You can see what information each file has from this URL:
http://www.zipcon.com/~highroad/CDCzar/files.html

Hope this helps.

I have two questions:

I am using CD Czar behind a firewall and get the error message on
start up. However, everything appears to be working OK. Is there
something missing that I haven't noticed?

How do I get Microsoft Access or Excel to be able to read the
database?

Thanks.

Please try again, being sure you perform EACH of the following steps in
order:

1.  After you find your album, click the link (which will be a
Hexadecimal number) on the line right under "genre" that begins with
"ids:".
For example, an album shows this line:    ids: folk / e50f1a0f
so here you would click on "e50f1a0f".  This is the step most often
overlooked.

2.  When that page shows up, press the ctrl-A key combination (or
Edit|Select All from the menu bar).  The entire page should now be
highlighted.

3.  Now press ctrl-C (or Edit|Copy from the menu bar) to copy it to the
clipboard.

4.  Go back to CD Czar (alt-tab) and press OK.  It should now work.  Let
me know if it doesn't.

Just to be sure - are you using the normal Windows clipboard that comes
with Windows, or have you installed some third party replacement?  If
so, please let me know what it is.

Thank you for trying CD Czar.

I really like the ability to find a album by name in freedb, then
copy it to the clipboard, then import all the info into CDCzar. I
have probably 200 albums I've copied to CD's that I could use this
feature for (and yours is the only program I've found that offers
this feature - I tried 6 just yesterday!). However, I can't get it to
work. I can see all the information in the clipboard using clipboard
viewer, but when I hit OK in CDCzar, it says "WEbpage has not been
copied to the clipboard", and when I hit OK, the clipboard viewer
shows that the clipboard has been erased.
I'm using Windows 2000 and version 1.6 of CDCzar. It is also the eval
version; if this isn't going to work, I won't buy it. If it does, I
will!

Any suggestions?

Thanks!
Ray

CD Czar connects to Port 8880, so try to convince whoever
manages your firewall configuration to open port 8880.

I hope this helps.

Bob B.

Have you some trick to jump over the our proxy intranet firewall ?
