Reference

Information downloaded from CDDB is 
for another CD.

1.

Click the 

Setup

 button and click on the 

CD

 tab.

2.

Deselect the “Use first match for CD track info” option.

3.

Click the 

OK

 button and then click the 

Get Track Info

 button. CDDB 

should provide all matches available.

4.

Select the appropriate match from the list.

When playing a CD, I always get the 
message “Unknown Artist” followed 
by “CDDB service not available.”

Make sure there is an active Internet connection to your computer. If you did 
not register during installation, re-install the software and make sure you pro-
vide a valid e-mail address.

CDDB information is not automatically 
downloaded when I insert a CD, even 
though I have selected the option to 
do this.

On your computer, open the Control Panel and then open Internet Options. 
Select the option, “Automatically Connect to the Internet.”

The 

Record CD

 button is grayed and 

does not respond when I play a CD.

Your CD-ROM drive does not support simultaneous play and record. Stop play-
back of CD and button should become available. If the 

Record CD

 button is 

still grayed, your CD-ROM drive may not support digital audio extraction.

Audio CDs do not play automatically 
when inserted and the application is 
closed.

Click the 

Setup

 button and click on the 

CD

 tab. Select the “Automatically play 

CDs when inserted” option.

Another application is launched when I 
insert an audio CD.

Click the 

Setup

 button and click on the 

CD

 tab. Click the “Register as CD 

default player” checkbox to register the Wave/PC

 system as your default CD 

player.

When trying to record a CD track, an 
“Error” message appears in the status 
column.

Try cleaning the CD. If problem persists, the CD is probably scratched.

CD stops playing in middle of track.

Clean the CD and try again. If problem persists, click the 

Setup

 button and 

click on the 

CD

 tab. Select the “Analog” mode.

What to do

Another application is launched when I 
double-click on an MP3 or WAV file.

Click the 

Setup

 button and click on the 

Music Files

 tab. Click the “Register as 

default player” checkbox to register the Wave/PC system as your default MP3 
and WAV files player.

After re-importing my music, all the 
changes I made were erased.

All changes made to music file information are retained within the Wave/PC 
system database. In order to make these changes a permanent part of the MP3 
file header:

1.

Click the 

Setup

 button.

2.

Click on the 

Music Files

 tab.

3.

Click the “Automatically update music files upon editing” checkbox.

After copying my music files to 
another computer, and scanning the 
hard drive for files, the changes I made 
were not present.

The play mode (Repeat, Repeat Track, 
Shuffle, Shuffle Repeat, Normal) is 
changing automatically.

This can happen when switching from one preset to another. Each preset can 
be set independently to its own play mode. If you are not playing any presets, 
you can switch the play mode by clicking the 

Mode

 button.
