The strangest thing happened to me today. I made a homemade CD from my
vinyl copy of Shaolin Soul (the compilation with all the Wu-Tang featured
samples) and inserted it into my computer so I could add it to my CD
database, and magically, CDValet (my CD catalog program) connected to CDDB
and received the information for the disc.. I was quite surprised, as I
didn't expect it to be able to retrieve the information for a home made
disc.. I mean, when you insert a store bought CD, they each have a unique
ID tag or something, so I'd imagine that's how it cross references each
search.. But for a homemade CD, I guess it searches by track lengths or
something? (which is strange, because I made the track lengths by myself, so
they must differ a bit from the original CD).. I can't explain it, so it
must be magic..
