CDDB - using
AudioStation uses the CDDB2 Disc Recognition Service (DRS) from CDDB, Inc. to
get the artist, title, track, credit and other information about the CDs you
play.  This service is FREE and automatic.  The first time you use the
service, you must register with CDDB. 

To register with CDDB, just play a CD with AudioStation. The CDDB Registration
Wizard appears automatically.  Follow the screens for a "New Registration" to
select a "nickname" and password.  The remaining information is optional, but
does help CDDB provide better service.

Once you register, you do not have to re-register, unless you want to change
your registration information or settings.

You can also access the CDDB Registration Wizard from the Options menu:

  - From the AudioStation main screen, click on the Options menu item.
  - Click on Preferences…
  - In the Preferences window that opens, click on the CDDB tab.
  - Put a check mark in the box labeled Use CDDB. 
  - Click on the Apply button, to the lower right. The CDDB Registration
    Wizard will now open.
  - If this is the first time you are registering with CDDB, click the radio
    button labeled This is a new CDDB Registration. 
  - If you wish to update your registration information, click the radio
    button labeled I already have a CDDB Nickname. 

NOTE: 
If the CDDB Registration Wizard does not open automatically, click the button
labeled Re-Register with CDDB…

To update your CDDB registration information: 

  - Click on the View menu.
  - Click on Refresh CDDB Info. The CDDB Registration Wizard will now open.
  - If this is the first time you are registering with CDDB, click the radio
    button labeled This is a new CDDB Registration. 
  - If you wish to update your registration information, click the radio
    button labeled I already have a CDDB Nickname. 

To see or edit the full CDDB2 information for a CD: When you insert an audio
CD into your CD-ROM drive, AudioStation will automatically search its internal
database for information. If it detects that the CD is not in its database,
AudioStation will launch the CDDB user interface.  You may also select Refresh
CDDB Info from the View menu if a CD is in the drive, to update data when the
CD is in the database.
