I have approximately 20 discs that in various combinations were =
identified
by CDJ as being identical, even though none of them are. The vast
majority of them are 1-track CDs, but no two of them have the same
track/total times. In many cases, they're not even close -- for =
example,
CDJ identified a 1-track interview CD (approximately 35 minutes in =
length)
as identical to a 1-track song CD (approximately 4 minutes in length).
Moreover, if I take pairs of discs that CDJ claims are identical and put =
them in my CD-ROM drive, RealJukebox queries CDDB, which does not find =
these discs to be the same.
Can anyone explain what is going on here, and what my options are? I =
thought
that CDJ creates a unique ID based on # of tracks, track time, and total
time...
Thanks
