will the CDDB Database automatically update the tags for a list of MP3 files?
Hi Everyone;
A couple of weeks or so ago I was able to successfully use CDex and configure it to automatically connect to the remote CDDB database. Therefore, when I loaded the audio cd with the .cda files on it, the CDDB database was able to quickly locate the correct title of the song in addition to the artist. Now, at this point, I would like to go a step further and see if the CDDB database can find tags for MP3 files as well. This will come in handy in this situation because I have a friend with a list of MP3 files which only indicate a track number and nothing else when playing on the mp3 player. It would be nice to have song titles and artists for these unknown tracks.
Any help for successfully tagging MP3 files will be greatly appreciated. As indicated, I have been using CDex to find tags for .cda files by connecting remotely to the CDDB database, but, I have never used it for MP3 files. It would be very nice if this application can do the same for MP3 files.
Thanks in advance for any help rendered to this question.

On a sidenote, could one of you possibly look at an open question I have? It has been up for a few days and has yet to be addressed.
