Submitted track and CD info to Gracenote/CDDB
We got the game today (thanks to Roger, a kind geek we met when he was on vacation in Spain that sent it to us along with Ghost Stories) and played a few training missions (Tracks 1 and 2). We both loved the game although it wasn't easy, especially with just two of us, but we both had fun. I can't wait to try the next missions and all the elements they introduce...

So, I was about to import the CDs with iTunes and to my surprise, I saw that there was no CDDB information about the CDs that come with the game. So, for all of you that use this feature (automatically getting cd and track info from Gracenote/CDDB), I've submitted the information, so the names of the tracks should appear automatically when importing.

Thanks for this, I didn't send this information to CDDB because I added this information on CD as CD-Text and I didn't realized that people are still using CDDB nowadays regularly.

That's weird, I thought iTunes would be able to read the CD-Text information, but it seems that feature is not working very well... it does automatically search the CDDB for artist info and track names, but I don't know about other players. Still, submitting the information was no trouble at all :D

That's odd. I submitted it to the CDDB when I got my copy last week, I believe Thursday or Friday. It said that it accepted my submission. I wonder why it did not register for other people? Perhaps there is a certain lag time.

Just searched and the CDs are not in the database. Maybe there is lag or they just don't like boardgame CDs :)

I thought it was strange that no one else had submitted the info yet :D
