freeDB user preferences
User info is entered here for MAGIX Audio Cleaning Lab MX to use when
freeDB is queried. Of course, using freeDB is completely anonymous, but
freeDB often has to process several queries at once, so an i.d. is assigned to
identify the user. If you have problems accessing info, maybe someone is
using the same data; you can change the settings to avoid this problem.
freeDB proxy options...
If you are having difficulties connecting to the freeDB server, then you can
choose another server from the list, or you can increase the "timeout" value.
An increased work load causes the server to react slowly and a connection
cannot be made properly.
freeDB > Delete freeDB Cache
The freeDB online database creates a cache on your hard disk, containing all
data available via the freeDB button. This allows you to access the data
without having to go online. You can of course delete the cache, should it
contain false data or when up-to-date current data is available.
Open CD track list online
When recording cassettes or records onto your computer, one large file is
created in which all tracks are arranged one after the other without track
markers, much like a CD. You can, of course, use the function "Set track
marker automatically" to analyze the audio material and, with the help of the
pauses, separate the file into individual tracks. This does not work, however,
when the tracks run into one another without a pause.
In this case you can ascertain the exact track division by querying the Online
freeDB CD database. To do so, proceed as follows:
1. Start up your Internet browser and go to the freeDB search page by
pressing the "Start Internet search" button.
2. Enter the name of the album or band into the search field. One or more
albums, which match the search request, are listed. If you know that a
certain album fits your recording, then click on "Details". It will display the
CD track list you were looking for alongside other details.
3. Click on the link above the disc ID (a combination of 8-digits of
numbers/letters, e.g. 7e120419). freeDB data record is displayed for this
CD.
4. Copy the URL (Internet link) from the address bar of your browser onto the
clipboard.
5. Change back to MAGIX Audio Cleaning Lab MX and enter the Internet link
into the text field in the lower portion of the dialog. Then click on "Apply CD
data". The CD tracks will be added to the project.
