    Review PerfectMeta Matches ...

    ... should always list the metadata at each of the four providers, regardless of what's stored in the local cache and regardless of what is entered in the local metadata entry fields.

    Far too many times, the four columns in the Review PerfectMeta Matches are dimmed and there is no data there, even when one KNOWS FOR CERTAIN that at least one of those providers had/has the particular CD in their database and recognized it before.

    When the physical CD is in the drive tray and CD Ripper is running, there's no reason that I can think of to suppress the list of tags in those columns—unless of course doing so counts as an additional download of the data, using up metadata access "bandwidth". Failing to display the orignal found tags leads to enormous confusion after the fact about where the tags came from and who has the CD in the database already.

    TIA...

      Why does using the local cache (desirable) block the PerfectMeta process?

      TIA...

        If the disc is in the cache the internet is not used.

          Why are not the Internet results displayed if the disc is in the cache? What's in the cache may be old or incorrect.

          TIA...

            You can disable the cache if you do not require it.

              because the cache only saves the "PerfectMeta" and not the individual components that go in to making it up.

              If you look at my request thread for R14 you will probably see the following wishes that are related to yours:
              -save each of the individual provider meta-data results in a txt file in the output directory
              -a perfectmeta quality report/score (ie, the better the results from the providers match the higher the score). This would let you know when you should review results.

                This topic seems important, especially since tagging is such a big effort after ripping. I have a few questions:

                1)how do you disable the local cache?

                2)is the concern that if you have a disc in the cache from a while back, that if you rip the same disc again, then an internet lookup will be suppressed and the source databases may have updated their tags and thus you have not the best the database can offer?

                  on the drop down menu (down arrow) of the meta-data button unclick the "retrieve from local cache"
