I’m using quite an old Music Match Juke Box (v7.5) as my CD ripper. The newer one screws up some other apps and is just bigger & bloatier & I have registered this version (I don’t just use freeware, on occasion I will pay for stuff!).
I use my own player “what I wrote” as an MP3 player as MM tends to hog resources, displays the tag name when I want the file name and doesn’t do some of the shuffle effects I want (like play next sequential track when in shuffle mode). Also it saves play lists as text files so it’s easy to manipulate them & doesn’t create weird libraries I never use. Anyway writing your own apps is cool & a CD / MP3 player is so easy with Visual Basic why not?

Musicmatach have had some problems with Gracenote (the main CDDB operator, though they somehow acquired it from GPL licence in a rather uncertain manner).
If Gracenote have suspended their services, then using www.freedb.org may be an alternative.
More confusing, Yahoo also seem to be involved.

I would also point you to the extensive discussion: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Gracenote
Essentially, the formerly GPL database, via ESCIENT, ended up with Gracenote, who offer it under commercial terms, and are considered by many to be GPL violators.
Freedb.org is GPL, and maybe not as complete as Gracenote, but lacks the commercial baggage and terminally bad attitude.
If I had to choose a DB, it would NOT be Gracenote, theay have thrown their weight around too many times.
Sorry, this got hung up in moderation (must have looked like an ad!) I’ll take a look…

I have Musicmatch Jukebox ver 8.0 which is a registered version Since installing IE 8 my jukebox will no longer work
Jukebox 10 is junk compared to older versions
Anyone know of a fix so my version will run with IE 8 installed ?

My MMJB is going south on me. I bought my Dell in ‘04 and has worked like a champ except for MMJB in the last few months. I can burn a CD to my hard drive but when I rearrange my music to burn a CD, MMJB tells me to either install a empty CD or it tells me I cannot burn a CD. Is it my computer or is it MMJB and how can I fix it?
