[BC] Re: CD rippers

[Al Stewart]

Yeah ... I've looked through a few of the databases these programs use ... and none of them seem to include the composer/writer and music publisher. I was hoping that there was/is some software out there that finds that info ... seems to me I heard of one somewhere, but can't recall where. It is very time consuming searching databases like ASCAP (which of course is limited to material registered with them), etc. etc.

We're dealing with international reporting requirements (like Europe), and some of them seem to want a whole lot of info about every song.

Oh well ... I'll keep searching for databases I can at least access and search.

I took a look at the Music Collector site, and I don't think it will do all I need.

Some of the copyright reports we are required to submit now also are wanting the composer/writers of the songs as well as the music publisher (different from the CD/record publisher).

The downside to these sources is that they're often compiled by users. If a particular CD isn't listed you can submit the information if you have the patience to type it all in. I've just checked several programs that use online databases and none of them appear to have the copyright or ASCAP/BMI-type reporting information you need.
