Identify Song (MusicDNS database) this program (if YOU want) uses the MusicDNS (M
usic Digital Naming Service) database in order to identify a song.
Always: (always connect to MusicDNS in order to identify a track, SLOW but ver
y useful when the tags of your mp3 are not correct.)
Never: (never connect to MusicDNS, identify a track only by the mp3 tag, FAST
but needs mp3 s with filled tags to work)
When needed: (uses the mp3 s tags to identify a song but if they are empty then
connects to MusicDNS to identify the song)
MusicDNS Key a 32byte key is needed to access the MusicDNS database, the default
key is for identifying 5 million songs per month. Since this application is a fr
eeware this number may be (long shot) exceeded, therefore by pressing the button
in this option the application will get a new FREE unique key (provided by Musi
cDNS) for identifying 1000 songs per day.
