"Warning! All of the data of the actual CD will be deleted ! Do you really want to continue?"

That (I think) means that EAC has already used freedb to get info

Selecting yes only clears the tags. Its not like it will alter the CD, rendering it unrecognisable on any CD drive

Lol, you're not going to wipe the CD!

Yeah, that message just means you're about to wipe the current track listing. For example on some albums you put in the CD and you get five choices. Sometimes people spell stuff differently or are just plain wrong. So you "control-G" and work your way down the list until you get the track titles that you think are correct. Each time you try a new set, EAC warns you that it's about to overwrite the current set. Hope that makes sense.

To your original problem, you may be the first guy who hit the DB with this record. If nothing comes up when you query the DB, it is now up to you to enter the track titles (correctly

and push them to freeDB. Take pride in your work!

I got to be the first to enter track titles on a recent CD I bought, it was a latin american rock band.

Adios,
