zico martin 89 Posted September 7, 2005 Share Posted September 7, 2005 im fairly new to winamp but thought i would start using to join in the last.fm craze which has started in here. however i have a problem in that when i try to play a cd it tells me that CDDB is not installed. Any ideas why this isnt included with winamp and how i could possibly get it?? weird huh? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig 6547 Posted September 8, 2005 Share Posted September 8, 2005 CDDB (http://www.cddb.com/) is the internet based database which Winamp (and other media players) polls to automatically download the album and track names for the CD you're currently playing. I presume it's suggesting that it can't make contact with the site which may be due to the connection properties setup in Winamp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happy Face 29 Posted October 4, 2005 Share Posted October 4, 2005 Another Winamp question. How do I set it as my default player? I've tried to "Open With" and it's not listed in the suggested or other programs. I can open winamp and then the track I want, but that's a bit shit. I've also tried "Set Program Access and Defaults" and "Custom" but again, Winamp wasn't listed as a media player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
