I'm trying to use the CDDB Safari applescript, which I have used successfully in the past. This time, however, it is failing for me. The CD in question has 28 tracks. The playlist I find on CDDB has 28 tracks. The script tells me that the number of songs is incorrect, and fails at that time. is there a limit on how many songs this script can handle?
(Off-topic: Reel Big Fish rules! Thanks for using them as your script example.)

Hmm, that's a good one. There should be no limit (actually, 99 audio tracks per CD should work). Is there anything unusual about the CD name or any track names on it?

Well, it's a recording of Carmina Burana (http://www.gracenote.com/music/search-adv.html?q=&qartist=&qdisc=carmina+burana&qtrack=&n=10&x=0&y=0), and whoever tagged the default version that iTunes used to tag it was a moron.
I think all the track names are in Latin, although some may be German. No special characters. Some of the (97!) versions have 28 tracks, others have 25. I'm sure I was viewing a 28-track version (for exampl, the second option), and I tried several different pages.
I've only used this script a few times, but I haven't had a problem in the past.
[How about that new drummer on Cheer Up? I didn't really notice the drums on earlier recordings, but the new guy has more of a punk feel, stays away from the snare. I like it a lot.]

I see what you mean. I checked the CDDB search link you posted and there does seem to be plenty of inconsistency. The only thing I can imagine is that perhaps there is a 25 vs 28 tracks discrepancy. I will investigate further.
[New drummer seems to understand "orchestral" drumming better-I also think the arrangements are far better on Cheer Up! than earlier. I like all their stuff very much though.]

Just to let you know, the re-revised version of CDDB Safari fixed the problem. Don't know how, don't know why, but it's all good.
