Hello,
great program. One of the best out there... and I've tried A LOT!
I'm confused, when I use the search on freedb I get only 10 results. Is this what I supposed to get? When I use the same search on the website I get thousands. Should this be able in the program and be able to browse with NEXT till we find the correct disk/album? If this is not in the program, when consider this as my request and post it in that forum ;D
Thanks,
skullmonkey

I am not sure which website you have searched.
freedb stores albums under a unique id - and, honestly, I doubt that there are thousands of albums under the same combination of artist and albumtitle.
My observation is, that the search results in mp3tag and on the site [www.freedb.org](http://www.freedb.org) are almost identical.
And BTW: IMHO a search that returns thousands of results renders that search useless.

When I say search, I mean not automaticly, but Mp3rag/Tag Sources/freedb/determine via web search.
For example: Miles Davis / The Complete Miles Davis at Montreux gives only 10 options but there are more.
Then try search [freedb.org](http://freedb.org) from web browser for Miles Davis / The Complete Miles Davis at Montreux and you'll see what I mean.
