I have some CD's that i burned a long time ago, i dont know whats on them, i just know that they are random mixes of stuff. Are there any programs that will detect what songs are on the CD???

I'm not 100% sure, but I think Windows Media Player 10 can do this. You might have to rip it to WM format tho.

If the CDs are mixed, then you probably can't use software to detect what each track is. Most CD database software uses information it gathers from the CD to figure out what album it is and then it'll apply the information to the tracks.

If you're in England, there is a phone service called Shazam Song Recognition. I can't find my phone right now, but I'm sure you'll be able to find the number if you google it. All you do is hold up the phone to the speakers, and play the song, and hopefully it'll tell you what the song is (I'm on Orange, so I'm not sure if this is available with other networks). Also, I think it might cost you, but I'm not sure about this.

I used this to identify / clean up my mp3 collection awhile ago.

Actually did real well.

This program looks good from screenshots, nice and basic.
How does it compare to Musicbrainz? I've been having poor luck with Musicbrainz recently(can't id a lot of my music) and am looking to try something else. The Godfather isn't great either.
