The future of FreeDB is unclear

Postby Service-Team » 3. Jul 06, 20:55

Excerpt from :
> Freedb, the free music database used by tons of CD ripping software, has been shut down due to a disagreement among its developers [...]

However, currently, http://www.freedb.org is online again and is working. If you use freedb in Silverjuke and if you have any problems, you can easily switch to one of the freedb mirrors or compatible services:

freedb.berlios.de
freedb2.org
at.freedb.org
au.freedb.org
ca.freedb.org
es.freedb.org
fi.freedb.org
fr.freedb.org
jp.freedb.org
jp2.freedb.org
ru.freedb.org
uk.freedb.org
uk2.freedb.org
us.freedb.org

To use a mirror, enter the server name to "Settings / Advanced / Further options / Online database: Server name" and click on "OK".

Hopefully, the service will continue to exists in future - otherwise, we have to search for possible alternatives.

Best regards,

Seems as if the service will stay as it is ... Michael Kaiser says on :

> As of now, it seems very likely that freedb will operate its main services in the future just as it does now [...]
