How to Access CDDB on Nero
If you've ever wondered how a media program like Windows Media Player or iTunes knows the artist name and album title associated with a song immediately after you import it into the program, it's because the programs automatically connect to an online database and retrieve that information. Nero ShowTime also uses a similar database, called the "CDDB" or "Gracenote." If you want to access this information for songs in your playlist via the CDDB in Nero ShowTime, you just have to select the appropriate option.
