Far as I know that's the latest version. The program doesn't seem to have been updated in quite a
while.

Well, long as it does read from one drive consistently. Maybe the program considers that one the
first drive available so that's the one it should read.

I've ripped fifty or so CD's, mostly obscure Brazilian/opera/classical stuff, and freedb has only failed
me once. So yeah, the composer probably isn't in there, yet. There's probably some procedure to
add him in, if you wanted, I don't know what it is, and I doubt it involves CDex, anyway.

Damn. There's an option to enable DRM in the program but I can't seem to find it at the moment. You
might want to look around and see if you can find it yourself. The MP3s that result from the ripping
and encoding process should not be protected in any way. At least mine never are. You could try
ripping them directly to your player and seeing if that works. I'll look at the program more later when I
have some time and let you know if I figure out how to turn the damn DRM off.

Well, like I said, I don't know a HUGE amount about the program. Once I figured out which buttons to
push to get the desired result, I quit messing with options and learning more about it. Maybe
someone who knows more can chime in.
Glad I could help some, anyway. Sorry I was annoying earlier; I obviously need to clean up my act a
bit.
