OK, I'm just curious how something works. Driving me mad... So I just put my Pet Sounds CD into my computer, and Winamp brought up the 27 tracks, all called track01.something, track02.something... cool. And then some tool or accessory or something finds out the NAMES of the songs, then they show up on the playlist. How does this happen, are the names encoded onto the CD, and the computer reads them? Same with Real Jukebox, it kind of ''gets CD info'' from some database or something... WHAT database? How does it know what CD I just put in there? By examing the track numbers/lengths or something? Or do CDs have some special info in them that the computer reads? Am I making sense AT ALL? |

somethin in winamp that scans databases on the internet, and coding on your cd, The Man is up to allkinds these days. |

they are stored in an online CDDB database -- there is special little rainbow dna in your disc, which is read, asked about, and finally decoded -- and the results land right into your winamp playlist box! |

actually.. it just gathers the length of the CD and how many tracks are on it, and takes a guess at what it is. You can even use the CDDB to re-title your MP3's with the right tools. |

Well it guessed right. I wonder what would happen if some CDs were exactly the same, song length and order wise... hmm... Alright, merci beaucoup. |
