I don't get it. 

(menus) Library -> Transfer Text = sends CDJ DATA to players
Unless you mean some extented text info of 400-models (don't have one) I
seem to remember reading that the PLAYERS itself do not allow certain
data to inputted via slinke = TS.

-I don't think many users would care for that feature, I think many
still have modem connection to WEB(charged by time) = "Queue disks for
later" and it takes less than minute to lookup 300 disks: 

1. CDDB lookup is TOOOOOOO fast for human. (players are slow enough, but
...)
2. Any extra delay in CDDB lookup would cost money for users using
telephone to connect to web. 

I think better solution would be checkbox "Confirm looked up disks" = It
would display yes/no dialog showing location & found title for every
disk is retrieves from CDDB. (I can't imagine anyone actually using it
but this way :
1. It would not hinder functiality on CDJ 
2. Allows users more control & choises, unlike Mic... products, oops
sorry I just noticed your address)
