If you are using EAC you can use a local database. Try googling for "EAC local database". You can download the freedb database to your own computer, I think it is around 3-400mb, do this at work, burn it to a CD, bring it home, and set EAC to use that to get the track names.

Have you tried setting up a FreeDB server on the home computer and configuring the ripping software to user this server? That's one of the reasons why you can download the FreeDB database. Mind you; you'll need to burn the files to CD in work and expand the files at home. In fact, probably would be easier and quicker to expand files in work and burn these to CD and copy the CD to home computer. RAR files can take time to unpack.

thanks alot for the advice, i didnt know you could download the whole database.
i seen in some of the programs i was messing with t day such as dbpoweramp and audiograbber you can set the freedb to offline and browse to local freedbdata base. is that all i have to do one ive donwloaded and extrtacted the database

I have never tried this myself (always on internet), but I believe so, yes. You will probably have to Google for specific instructions.

I’ve been extracting the files since 9.00 this morning. I think I have a good idea how it works, thanks again.
