Unzipping the program database

Owners of a full version of Nero will find the free program database on their CD. The database is zipped and will have to be unzipped before it can be configured.

  1. Unzip the archive 'CDDB.zip' which is on the CD in the 'FreeCDDB' directory and extract it to a new folder on your hard disk.

    Caution: This requires around 120MB of disk space.

  2. In Windows Explorer create another directory (target directory) to hold the imported CD program database. There should still be at least around 250MB of free space on the selected drive. We do not recommend that you locate the Nero database onto a network drive as simultaneous access of the database by several users is not yet supported.

    Note: When installing the database remember that the target drive should still have at least 300MB of free space.

    Note:
    Owners of the demo version can also use this free program database. However to do this you must download the free CD database to your PC, e.g. from http://freedb.freedb.org.
