After converting a CD track, the VLC list goes to "Track 05.cda" from the original names of each track when 1st loaded

Postby MadRocker » 24 Sep 2021 05:17

When I first load a retail music CD into my HP laptop (Windows 8.1) the VLC display shows the name of each track from the CD. After I select a track to convert to MP3, and do the conversion for that track selected, the list of CD tracks on the VLC display, with names of the songs of each track is now gone. In it's place is a list with names like "Track05.cda" --- and I want to know how to get the list of names of the tracks of the CD loaded into my laptop to reappear --- without having to eject the CD and then reload the CD again into my laptop, to get the names of the songs to appear.

So I don't know is I have a bug or if I'm just doing something wrong...

I tried that, but it didn't fix my issue. I was getting the name of the songs to populate when first loading in the CD, regardless of the CDDB Server address I used. But, with each address tried, after I converted a track, then I could not get the list of song names to populate, just Track 01.cda list.

So for now, I'm going to use Apple iTunes. Their player converter seems to work fine. No issues.
