Compilation disk doesn't show titles even if sent to freedb

Using Power CD+G Burner 2, I ripped three of my disks. All the titles were found in freeDB.

Also using Power CD+G Burner 2, I selected tracks from all three disks and burned a custom compilation. I tried playing with the Siglos Player/ Recorder 2
http://www.powerkaraoke.com/src/prod_si ... corder.php

The tracks came up as Track 1, Track 2, etc.
I tried loading the disk to rip in Power CD+G Burner 2: Track 1, Track 2, etc...

So, I edited all the track names with the proper "Artist / Title" format and submitted to freeDB. No rejection email, but still the tracks have the generic title. Track 1, Track 2, etc.

Settings show I'm using freedb.freedb.org and it works for most all of the commercial disks. I can't get anything to work for a compilation.

I captured the cdgblog.txt file for that session if that helps.
Any help appreciated.

Unfortunately, freeDB only lists commercially produced disks. A compilation disk search won't bring any results because it is not part of their database you are searching. Because it is a homemade disk if you rip it out you will have to manually name the tracks/artists yourself. Sorry to break it to you. Because it is a homemade disk they may not add it to the database. I think the submissions are more for corrections to the existing disks in the database.
