Start RealJukebox, and insert an audio CD. The programme will try and connect to the Internet. This is so it can access the Compact Disk DataBase (CDDB). This is an online database containing the information on every audio CD ever released. You can cancel this action (click "Work Offline") if you want and type in the artist/album/track data manually, but it is faster to use the CDDB. hit connect, and the CD information will be downloaded.
