Music Collector changes it's default music database. Again.

Posted by: BigH47 on 06 September 2006

Version 7.1 is available now with the main change being freedb has been replaced with "Collectorz.com Music Database".
Anyone tried it yet? I think this is the third database change and it's wearing a bit thin.
I see the idea is for them to produce their own Music DB(with our help).

Just added my first 2 CDs with no problem. Can't really blame the MuC guys for going down this route as they have no control over others datbases and also need to pay a fee to some (e.g. CDDB) for using it which they obviously would have to set off my charging more for MuC.

Still looking like the best thing around IMHO.
