CD ripping..............strange!

Anybody able to explain this? I got the new eagles album this morning (from
CD WOW) and when I go to rip it onto my PC, there are no album details! It
shows up as an "Unknown Artist" and that's it! No track listings etc. This
is the first time I have ripped a CD that didn't have all the details
including the album sleeve. I just can't imagine that the record company has
tried to cut corners or something so I am left with the suspicion that this
is a counterfeit album..........but then I can't believe that from CD WOW!
Any comments?

The track information you are talking about comes from a independent
database. Has nothing to do with getting a fake or real CD.

Thanks. That was very interesting. I wonder why this album was missed
though. Maybe it will appear later.

My guess is YOUR Internet connection couldn't get through. Try it
again and see what happens.
