CDDB - CD Artwork for Cover Image:
Q:  When it connects to CDDB it gathers all info about cd, but does not always
    bring me the cd cover image.  I have looked through the help files, 
    but cannot find a way to get it to do this.     
 

A:  Depending on the CD, the Gracenote CDDB service might or might not have
    the CD artwork available for the CD.

CDDB - Solution for Norton Personal Firewall 2002 issue: 6/21/02
    Some CDDB2 end users who also use Norton Personal Firewall have reported
    receiving the following error message from the CDDB service when the 
    Firewall is enabled: 

         "[40000] Decompression failed." 
 
    Symantec has notified us that they have solved this issue.  If any user 
    experiences this problem, they can use the "Live Update" feature of 
    Personal Firewall 2002 to download and update the software.  This should
    take care of the problem.  

                            ********************

A:  Sorry, AudioStation does not do this.

Q:  CDDB - Can I access the CDDB servers through a firewall or proxy server? 

A:  http://www.gracenote.com/corporate/FAQs.html/faqset=server/page=4
    The CDDB servers support access through HTTP, the same channel used by 
    web browsers. Almost all programs that access the CDDB servers do so 
    through HTTP. Most firewalls allow access to port 80 (the standard HTTP 
    port), so access to the CDDB service should not be a problem. If your 
    firewall doesn't allow web access, your only option is to convince your 
    network administrator to configure the firewall to enable Internet 
    web access. 

    Some firewalls require you to access port 80 through a proxy server. 
    Your network administrator will provide you the address of the proxy 
    server and occasionally a username and password required by the proxy
    server. Consult the Help or Manual for the software application you are
    using to find out where to configure the internet access and enter these
    proxy settings. In some cases, the software will automatically prompt you
    to enter these proxy settings the first time you access the CDDB servers. 

                            ********************

Q:  I want be able to record an album onto my hard drive and then have 
    AudioStation look at that album on my hard drive and do the CDDB lookup
    for artist album and songlist so I don't have to manually input that
    information.  

A:  This can't be done. The only thing that can use the CDDB lookup service 
    is an actual audio CD.
