Offline CD Database
We have just published a new offline album database.
JB7 uses the album database to give names to albums and their tracks.
B2 and B3 use the online database at Musicbrainz but can also use an offline database so they can work without an internet connection.
The B3/B3 database contains around 3.2 million albums and is growing at about 4,000 albums a month.
The JB7 is limited by memory so the JB7 database is smaller at around 2.9 million albums growing at about 1,500 a month.
