No Freedb Access

[toadheaven]

Hi! I'm using dmC 12.3 and am having issues accessing metadata from freedb. I searched the FAQ and Forum and know of the debug option - which I executed. Following is the log it generated:

Any help in getting this up and running is appreciated as I don't want to have to count on iTunes for my rips. For the record, I am using Windows Firewall and AVG Free Anti-Virus. I have ID'd dbPoweramp as an allowed program for the firewall. Also, both iTunes and Windows Media Player can find data, the former being much more accurate, the latter being close to useless and frustratingly close.

Cheers!

Re: No Freedb Access

You have no other firewall except the Windows firewall? What about other security programs besides AVG?

Re: No Freedb Access

Thanks for the quick response. The only other similar protection program that I have running in the background is Windows Defender. My OS is Windows XP Media Center 2005 if that helps at all. Otherwise, Windows Firewall and AVG are all that I am using.

Re: No Freedb Access

Are there other computers on your network on which dMC can retrieve meta-data from FreeDB?

Re: No Freedb Access

I'm running a Dell laptop with Vista, and, after firing it up and giving it a whirl, discovered that I am experiencing the same problem with the CD Ripper on that computer.

Re: No Freedb Access

For what it's worth, I used the program about 1 week ago and was able to access the freedb database.

Re: No Freedb Access

I too am having freedb issues today with both dbPoweramp and Plextor Plextools. Yesterday everything was fine, today no access????????

Re: No Freedb Access

freedb.org is down, if you install R13 alpha you can use tracktype instead.

Re: No Freedb Access

Thanks Spoon. That did the trick. Great to have this all working again. I had looked at the freedb site but didn't see any mention of an outage - appreciate the assist.
