I'm ripping some newer classical box sets where there are no tags. As I edit them in CD Ripper how do I submit them to the databases so others have access to them?

Note the OS X version cannot submit.

Paul, I think you're actually submitting AccurateRip results every 24 hours. This is NOT tag metadata. To submit to tag database, one clicks on the SETTINGS menu item, chooses "Active Providers" and then at the bottom of the dropdown menu there is "submit changes to" freedb. This would submit your manually entered tag data to freedb database.
I'm not sure how the freedb algorithms work for adding submitted items to their database. But I'm pretty sure that you submitting your data doesn't automatically replace other data that might be there. I suspect there is some sort of algorithm that requires a certain number of submissions before something hits the database.
Do keep in mind though that there is lots of bad data already in these databases. Many are based on user submissions and we can all testify to the bizarre entries that sometimes show up from these "crowd sourced" metadata databases. Particularly in the "genre" label it seems.
Yes, Gary. Well you have brought up my next question. There is no regulation (for lack of a better term) as to whether or not an individuals self-created/submitted metadata is actually accurate! There are indeed many cases where the metadata has been nothing short of totally bizarre (eg. Miles Davis's STYLE being 'Country & Western'!). For basic tags, it is usually OK (eg. ALBUM-ARTIST, GENRE, etc); but for the likes of PRODUCER such data is usually non-existent.

Which is why it is a good idea for folks that spend a lot of time entering correct and detailed metadata to submit such metadata to the online databases (e.g., as in doing this via dbpa and the submit to freedb option). I *think* this has to be done while the CD is read, metadata is entered and before the actual ripping. This is NOT like AccurateRip data which can be submitted at a later time.
Cheers, Gary; I will have a look tomorrow.
