You don't even need a player to query the database, which is huge. Not everything is in it...yet, but you'd be surprised at some of the obscure compilations that turn up. I just got thru IDing 250 CDs, and it only missed 12 - most of those were CD singles. I use Notify CD (for Windows) - sticking in a CD while online causes it to automatically query the database, and it downloads the tracklistings and puts them in a local database for offline use. Go to www.cddb.com, type in a track name, artist name, album name, whatever. It's EASIER than sending an email to this list. Of course, it only works with CDs that have already been released. I have only one complaint - the search engine is limited. You can't query "sun electric" as a phrase, so you get lots of 60's psychedelic comps that have "house of the rising sun" and "the electric prunes". Trying to find "T Power" doesn't work at all. Che
