I routinely bought CDs from a secondhand store and found some half-decent techno labeled Amixiam - Dream Frequencies. Quite possibly just some guy's personal work, packaged with a modicum of professionalism. No internet search has ever turned up a damn thing, and I no longer live on the same continent as that thrift shop. But then - a few years ago - I was going through old CDs, ripping them anew for modern codecs and decent bitrates. CDex filled in the track names automatically. A database recognized the disc! Someone out there had this information! And seconds later I realize that someone was me, sending the data to CDDB automatically, when I had ripped it the first time. I played a fifteen-year brick joke on myself. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] cheezoid2@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 years ago That’s awesome. I used to manually enter all the info myself too whenever it wouldn’t come up, back in the day permalink fedilink source parent [–] Blackmist@feddit.uk 2 points 2 years ago That's the one. It would pull data from online so you wouldn't have to enter all the track names. permalink fedilink source parent
