11.4 Copy an Audio CD
The CD Information window is displayed after you have started copying an Audio CD. Here,
you can check exactly what metadata will be written on the Audio CD.
CD Information window
Metadata about the Audio CD is available from different sources: The Audio CD's own CD
TEXT, Gracenote Media Database and your local database:
 Many Audio CDs contain CD TEXT which includes metadata such as the title of the
CD, the name of an audio file or the name of the artist.
 The Gracenote Media Database holds such metadata about many Audio CDs. With
Gracenote MusicID Nero Express can identify music files and access metadata from the
Gracenote Media Database.
 The local database is stored on your PC and contains information for each Audio
CD that was ripped or copied. The local database is useful, when you change title or
artist but don't want to send the changes to Gracenote (because the changes make
sense only for you, for example, or you don't have an Internet connection at the
moment).
During the copy process, Nero Express requests metadata from the Audio CD's own CD
TEXT, from the Gracenote Media Database, and from your local database and displays
them, if available. You can select which metadata will then be written to the Audio CD during
the copy process. You can also change the metadata or create new Audio CD metadata.
