Hi - I have Reference 12.3 demo installed and I'm extremely impressed, its' an amazing piece of work - but I would appreciate these two queries being resolved before getting a full license.
1. Is it possible to get hold of all the metadata including the UPC? I know I can get most of it by copy and pasting from the screen, but would prefer to have it all in one place for batch processing. I haven't yet figured out how much I could get from the .bin file, but it's probably quicker to ask! - Or could scripting be the answer? (always assuming question 2 has an answer)
2. Classical albums from freedb - I often get the Album title and artist garbled. These four were amongst the first few I tried grabbing. All the track titles are OK but in each case both the Album title and artist appear as a shortened version of the album title alone - on screen, in the tags and in the .bin file in 'application settings'. For "artist" and "album I get from dbpa:-
llo Concerto, "Silent Woods", Rondo

detzky Marsch
