Hi There
I Have an Album by Dashboard confessional called "A Mark A Mission A Brand A Scar" I select all tracks and the FreeDB returns no results found. If I manually go to the FreeDB site and search for Dashboard confessional. I get hundreds of entries but these don't show up as Choices in SilverJuke?
Is it a Setting or am I doing something wrong? My Server address is freedb.freedb.org
Thanks in Anticipation

Re: Query Free Database bit glitchy?
Well, this may happen - if there are not all tracks of the album available, if they're out of order or in many other situations. Querying freedb does not work in all cases.
The reason for this is, that you need an unique album ID to query freedb. This album ID is calculated from the track lengths and positions. It is easy to calculate this ID if you have the source CD, but it is very hard to calculate if you only habe a set of MP3s.
However, somethimes, Silverjuke shows a "more ..." item at the end of the list; a double click on this item may show the desired album:
