[bcab] Re: Catnav CDs

Thanks Clive,

Can you let us know when the info is uploaded.  I find the feature in Media 
Player, where it assigns the track title as the filename, very useful for 
locating tracks, and will be keen to try to assign this info when it is 
available.

Many thanks again,

Tim

Hi Tim,

I think you are right, but I'm not certain.  I'm not certain either, whether 
Proper Music, the distribution company have yet uploaded the info to the 
internet.  In other words, this would make our current batch of BCAB CD's 
"pre-release".  This was part of the plan, because the official release of the 
album would have missed Sight Village, and we wanted to make the CD's available 
there.  Good job we did, because we sold about an EyeT4All awareness day's 
worth during the week, and got interviews on Talking News Federation, Insight 
Radio and on Brian Hartgen's podcasts.

Best,
Clive

Hi Clive,

My understanding with the information used by Windows Media Player and similar 
products, that they pick up the info from the internet based on a unique 
signature for the CD composed of the timings for each track.  If this is 
correct (which I'm by no means sure) this might mean that once the information 
has been placed on the internet, presumably as part of the process of preparing 
the next batch of CDs, then the information should be available to Media Player 
if I were to attempt the "ripping" process again.

Do you (or anyone else) know if this is true?

Regards and thanks,

Tim

Tim,  it would appear that there was an omission on the first pressing of the 
CD, which means that when you put it into your computer, it comes up with 
"Unknown album", Unknown artist".  I intend to get this information in-filled 
before the next batch of CD's is pressed.  Meanwhile, we hope to have the track 
list information uploaded to the BCAB website before long.

Please may I apologise to anyone for the inconvenience of not having the track 
lists come up automatically first time around.  Yours isn't the first enquiry 
I've had asking why titles and artists are not coming up this time.  It was 
done as a matter of course on the previous albums, but I was told I should have 
asked this time around, which I find puzzling, I must say.  I didn't ask 
because I didn't know there was a question to be asked.

BTW, it would be interesting to know, and to post up comments on FaceBook, 
saying what is your favourite track from the album and why.  Anyone who wants 
to provide a sentence or two for inclusion can do so by emailing:
guidecats@xxxxxxxxxxx<mailto:guidecats@xxxxxxxxxxx>


All the best,
Clive

All,

Purchased my copy of the excellent Catnav CD set last week.  I'm really 
impressed with the content, but have a query about the CD format.  I attempted 
to load the CDs into my Windows Media library, and noticed that Windows Media 
Player doesn't seem to be able to pick up track information to label the tracks 
in the library.  Is this correct, or a problem with my configuration?
Regards,

Tim
