As I had to reinstall OS X.2 completely (damn 2.8!) when I insert a Cd in iTunes now the CDDB data aren't appearing anymore. As I still have all the files of my previous installation (txs to the Previous System install), I might recover that file and substitute it with the actual one. Can anyone tell me where such file could be? txs a lot.

When you insert a cd and have the CDDB enabled, it goes and gets the names/data. Only when you import into your library does it all get saved but saved to the individual files. -- Ms. Duh iChat: onlyduh UT Killin' Name: Only Zuul THE RANT - http://www.duhspot.net/rant.html _________________________________ Those who live by the sword get shot by those who don't...

Because lots of CD don't exist on CDDB, and I had inserted all the data manually. But anyway on uk.comp.sys.mac I have had my answer!

But anyway on uk.comp.sys.mac I have had my answer! Why not submit the info to CDDB, then you and others can access it when needed.
