HP RecordNow’s CDDB feature gathers artist, album and genre information about
your audio files. this can be helpful in sorting through your MP3 or WAV file
collection for your favorite songs or artists.
If HP RecordNow is configured to use CDDB, whenever HP RecordNow finds a new or
changed file, it will connect to CDDB via the Internet to download information
relevant to your new music file(s). HP RecordNow then uses this information to sort
your collection by artist, album, or genre.
Since this database is constantly growing, every time you access CDDB, your files are
updated with the latest information for that track.
