The safemode would not load any security software, so that is likely blocking access to the internet.

Keep trying different discs, popular discs should have no issues getting metadata. Also check the date and time on the computer, https is used and that needs the correct date and time.

Merci:

Despite my experiments the other evening, 'twas BitDefender after all. Turned it off again and tested with Jackson Browne and it came right up. Added CDGrab.exe to exclusions, turned protection back on, and all is good. Many thanks.

And apologies. I thought I had managed to test this before I got in touch, but I must have botched it somehow.

Now good to go with some new music. Keep up the good work.
