Hi Steve,

Duplicate tracks is one of the things which Perfect Tunes is designed to 
remove, hence my mentioning the feature.  While I agree that a standard rip of 
a CD doesn't  cause duplicates, I've had situations where I've ripped several 
CDs and had  duplicates, either due to faults with the ripping, or due to the 
same track appearing more than once in a box set, although I believe this only 
happened once.

Hi Alex,

I don't understand your reference to duplicate tracks?  If you rip a CD, 
you'll
never get dups.

All the best

Steve

Hi Mo and all,

Although I'm replying to the original message on this thread, I've skim read
the other messages but I  don't think I've seen reference to the program I've
suddenly remembered.

I can't remember exactly how I found out about it, but I have a program
called Perfect Tunes installed on my Windows 10 PC.  I haven't tried to rip a
CD with it since became unusable, but I thought I'd mention Perfect Tunes
encase it might resolve some of the problems caused by  CDEX becoming
unusable.

Perfect Tunes also has the ability to remove duplicate  tracks, which may not
be available in DBpoweramp and I don't think was available in CDEX.

I do hope this information is of help to some list members.

Hello Everyone.

I recently tried to use CDEx and found that the database for obtaining
track information no longer works. Apparently, Free DB was taken down
earlier this year and music brains doesn't seem to want to connect.
This basically means that CDEx will no longer go online to retrieve
information about your CD's.

Express rip doesn't work any more either.

Does anyone know of an alternative database which we can use or
accessible CD ripper which is still working? I would prefer not to use
iTunes or windows media player unless I really have to.

Very best wishes,

Mo.
