Looking for the best way to put in a CD on my computer and have all tracks and such recognized..Have heard of software powered by Gracenote...are there any good TagRenamers that use this or use something else?

You mean applying info from a cddb.com (by gracenote) server, or freedb.org (simillar but not gracenote) to your cd tracks. When you have a CD you want to rip, it's very possible it's info is stored on freedb.org, using software like CDex, you can read the info from a "remote freedb server" and the track names and album info will be applied, the you rip the tracks.

Psychic MP3 -- only works with MP3 currently, but hopefully that will change to include OGG and MPC.

FreeDB is MUCH better than Gracenote smile.gif

...and just to clarify why, Gracenote is very restrictive to developers and FreeDB is not. If it weren't for FreeDB, CDDB enabled software like PyschicMp3 and CueMaster wouldn't be free, and likely wouldn't exist altogether.
