Nimbie, Batch Ripper and Meta Data Lookup and Costs?

[spinmd]

Hello,

Just getting into this to load a couple thousand CDs. Looking at purchasing the Nimbie NB11 with dBpoweramp R14 and adding Batch Ripper.

I've been reading and searching this forum for about 2 hours and can't easily find what I'm looking for.

Here are my questions:

1. Does Nimbie/Batch Ripper download any AMG or GD3 meta data for free or do I need to pay for access to their services through them?

2. Does AMG or GD3 have subscriptions (annual/lifetime) that don't require paying for a specified amount of lookups?

3. Does Nimbie/Batch Ripper still not support SonataDB?

4. Does Nimbie/Batch Ripper download meta data from MusicBrainz and freedb at no cost?

5. Does PerfectMeta function with Batch Ripper?

6. Does PerfectMeta require purchasing access to AMG or GD3 to include those in data verification?

7. Is there any additional dBpoweramp software that must be purchased other than dBpoweramp Reference to get Nimbie/dBpoweramp to batch rip?

Thanks,

Ron
