I’ve owned several CocktailAudio for years. With the end of FreeDB in 2020 they began using Gracenote for recovering music data. Worked really fine.
This year I have changed to Rose for several reasons. Actually I have stopped ripping via the Rose because it’s absolutely annoying having to manually enter in Artist, Title, and songs etc.
For this amount of money, this shouldn’t be an issue - since the Rose is priced above the Cocktailaudio.
If it’s a licencense problem, offer gracenote as an additional feature. For example Cocktailaudio includes two years licence for Gracenote with the purchase and afterwards offer additional two years for 20 Euros.
It’s really weird, that I now own a high-end streamer/ripper and start to edit and enter music data via PC for most of newer CDs which are not recognized by Rose but my old X30 from Cocktailaudio.
My suggestion: Please offer a reliable source for tagging music and supplying the complete dat for ripping and managing my music collection.
Thanks for your help.
