    CD Ripper doesn't retrieve ANY meta data

    I've been using dbPoweramp Reference R14 for about 6 years and ripped thousands of CDs. Just tried to rip a CD today (didn't rip for a while) and i didn't get ANY meta data. I upgraded to R16 because i thougth it could be a problem related to the last Windows 10 update, but the problem's the same :(

    Here's what i checked so far:

    - Windows Firewall is disabled
    - Sophos Antivirus is enabled but was before when CD Ripper was working

    The problem of R14 is that AMG has discontinued its service and finally stopped its servers in spring: click!

    Regarding R16: please try to disable Sophos and retry to rip a CD. Maybe R16 is blocked by Sophos while R14 was not.

    I already disabled AMG on R14 but both R14 and R16 won't get any meta data. There's no easy way of disabling Sophos to test, but it worked before, so i don't understand why it doesn't now. Only thing changed was the latest Windows update !?

    edit:

    just disabled all possible scans in Sophos AV but still no meta data

    Windows update will not stop the metadata, you need to uninstall all security software as a test to rule it out.

    Just uninstalled Sophos and disabled Windows Defender Firewall and the builtin Antivirus with no change. Still no meta data ...

    Try a popular CD >> and retrieve manually from Freedb (by selecting 'Retrieve from' menu item).
