Sony HAR-LH500 - Title database

Hi All,

Can anyone confirm whether the Sony HAR-LH 500 hard disk recorded has a CD
title database preinstalled.

Their website http://products.sony.co.uk/productde...p?id=7_40_3584
indicates it does, however my experience of it suggests it doesn't, I have
had mine for about a week now and so far have ripped about 150 CD's onto it,
out of which only one CD came up with title information and that's only
because the CD has CDText on it.

Many of the titles I have are mainstream by popular artists all of which I
would have expected to be in this fictitious preinstalled CDDB.

So has anyone else experienced this?

I realise I can use M-Crew and download the track info off the net, which
works great albeit time consuming.

Also on a slightly different subject

Is there any way to either make the title searches not case sensitive or use
m-crew to automatically convert the case all to uppercase, which would
resolve the issue. I don't really want to really want to re-title all of my
CD's to make searches easier if I can help it.

Thanks in advance

Leo
