    Meta Data

    As I have been heavily engaged the illegal activity of burning CDs to a hard drive for personal use,
    I have noticed something odd with metadata recently. I am transitioning from burning CDs to a dedicated Hard Drive and using i tunes to burning my CDs to a ripper/streamer called Bluesound, which stores files in flac. The odd thing is that if I burn the same CD into both data bases, Bluesound almost always recognizes the CD, even really obscure ones, and provides some type of cover art, whereas the chances of itunes recognizing the same CD lately are very slim, and I have to enter meta data myself with itunes and instead of showing the album cover (as Bluesound does). This is also the case for less obscure CDs--the recent Alissa Weilerstein Dvorak Cello Concerto and Nelsons/BSO Shosty 10 weren't recognized by itunes either.
    Someone recently stated here that the metadata services are the same for all CD copying programs, but that can't possibly be true.

    I think Apple still use Gracenote, but don't know about Bluesound. Btw, it was Gracenote that helped shed light on the alleged fakeries of the Joyce Hatto piano recordings, apparently.
