probably not -- i think CDDB uses the track listing data from a CD as a fingerprint to identify it. mp3 files do not retain that data. Maybe you could do it based on track length, but i bet you'd get way to many candidates that all had the same length.

The way CDDB works is it reads the length of the entire cd and the length each of the tracks. This creates an id like a fingerprint. What are the odds of 2 cds being the exact same length with 12 tracks of the exact same length? It cant look at an individual mp3 and change it as there are 1000's of songs of the same length.
I dont know of anything that will redo the tags automagicly. There is a lot of stuff out there that you can use to change them manually.

Actually you can. Just do a search on Google. I found this one pretty quickly.

As far as I can tell it uses FreeDB (CDDB is evil, don't use it), exact track length and possibly partial info.

errr... why me particularly ???
 Well

You were deciding back a bit whether or not to buy the game, and if your PC would be able to run it etc, I was trying to convince you to get it. Most of all, I think you would like the experience :)

OK, I understand... Well, today, it only misses me some RAM (Doom3 need at least ~ 380Mo RAM I remember well, and I only have 256), so I have to buy some RAM before buying Doom3... sure I will do it as soon as possible...
Thank you very much for this informations...
 Hrm
So I got one of those fancy mx700 mice from amazon as they were running a sale the other day. I installed the mouseware drivers but now when i scroll-click (You know, clicking with the wheel) on a link in firefox/whatever it doesn't open in a new tab. Anyway to fix this? I know one or two of you use these.
 Heh
Nevermind, i figured it out. (Had to set scroll to 'middle button' in the drivers.)

D3 wallpaper I slapped together with the skybox files in the pak file:

BTW - I noticed the skybox images are like this:
------top------
left-center-right
-----bottom----
So I assume that they all wrap into some kind of spherical or ball shape?

 Call Of Duty: United Offensive

played the demo, thought it was shit. I quite enjoyed the vehicle bit, although it wasn't the best thing ever or anyway, but the section afterwards was pretty appalling. The gameplay just consists of following exact orders from AI guys, or getting blown up by mortars. Don't stray from anyone when you are asked to follow them, or you die.
It's shit, it's not what I play games for. It's cinematic but nearly Dragon's Lair in gameplay terms.
 Nice One Phait.

Pretty tasteful bit of wallpaper there.

 Meh

You must not have liked the original CoD too, eh?

Aren't we supposed to get that when the patch comes out of beta (or whatever the fuck is going on with it)?
It still isn't available direct from id = beta. I guess.
