	CDDB - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		It also included terms that many programmers felt were unacceptable: no other similar database (such as freedb) could be accessed in addition to CDDB, and the CDDB logo was required to be displayed while the database was being accessed.
		After the commercialization of CDDB as Gracenote, many media player applications switched to freedb, but continued to refer to the service as 'CDDB' as a generic term.
		The license change motivated a new project, freedb, which is intended to remain free.

	FreeDB
		FreeDB is a database of compact disc track listings where all the content is under the GNU General Public License.
		The licence change motivated a new project, FreeDB, which is intended to remain free.
		FreeDB is used primarily by media player and CD ripper software.

		You may also choose to run a freedb server on your LAN, which would be able to service any computer connected to it.
		The freedb is not just in one place, it is spread out geographically in many countries, to help balance the load.
		Choose "Random freedb server" to have a different server used each time, or pick the one that is geographically closest to you.

		This is done by a client (a freedb aware application) which calculates a (nearly) unique disc ID for a CD in your CD-Rom and then queries the database.
		Additionally to the general classification freedb supports a genre field in the database entries, which can be filled with any genre name.
		Direct updates for the Windows format database are not possible, but that's no problem as you can use the freedb Updater (which is available on the ftp-servers) to update your Windows format database using the Unix format update files.

	Andrew Smith ~ freedb
		It is a project which began in the early days of the internet and it has touched the lives of almost everyone who enjoys music with their computer — whether they realise it or not.
		To find out more about freedb itself, I urge you to visit the main site and immerse yourself in the resources to be found there.
		Freedb is stored in a set of more than a million short text files across eleven genre directories.

	perl.com: Identifying Audio Files with MusicBrainz
		FreeDB grew out of CDDB, which was designed around the task of identifying entire CDs, not merely single tracks, and that is still reflected in the way most of the modules work; they require you to either have or fake the CD's table of contents to get results.
		In addition to taking the FreeDB data and making it available (in fact, the FreeDB changes appear to be regularly merged into MusicBrainz), MB takes care to make sure that their data is moderated regularly.
		FreeDB's discid-based system didn't always make sure that different versions CDs were recognized as duplicates, for example, whereas the MB volunteers attempt to consolidate such data.

	Foetusized's Article on CDDB, freedb, and CDValet
		In response to this, Escient/Gracenote now has some competition: MusicBrainz (which has focused on the tagging of sound files such as MP3s), and freedb, which is an open-source "fork" of the original CDDB and is doing well.
		Freedb also has a list of available software clients with support for most operating systems.
		I found the solution on freedb's website; they have a page of patches for older CDDB software to fix them so they'll use the freedb database instead.

		Changing from CDDB to freedB has taken this option away from me. All the information now has to be entered manually.

		It is based on the freedb but with a lot more information, althoug it is still not perfect.

		Freedb is finding quite a few and what it doesn't is mostly on cddb.

		It is no use moaning about the switch to Freedb since obviously for the MC team it was a necessary switch but the results are quite appalling compared to before.

		FreeDB took the last available snapshot of data, and created their own server and database.
		FreeDB protocol (which may be embedded in HTTP, but is not really accessible via a browser).
		Eventually, it is hoped that MusicBrainz will take over from FreeDB as the preferred open-source free-database way to look up CDs, especially since Gracenote has since developed (and is forcing customers to switch to) CDDB2, a proprietary replacement for the original CDDB protocol.

		When FreeDB entries are imported into MusicBrainz, they undergo a conversion from ISO 8859-1 (Western European Latin-1) encoding to UTF-8 encoding, even if the FreeDB entry was encoded differently, using e.g.

	freedb
		freedb is not able to operate without Joerg and Ari.
		freedbs future did not seem to be kept free regarding the lastest developments, so I tried to steer against this as I felt it more important to stay free instead of getting fancy web 2.0 features.
		But unfortunately Joerg and Ari (the main doers behind freedb) disagreed with me and decided that they want to go another direction.

	OrangeCD Forums - Freedb database
		I downloaded and tried about 5 cddb progs, and only Orange and another unnamed program made the cut, but even the Orange CDs interface is SO much cooler and neater, I chose to register the other one because the Freedb vs. the Gracenote cddb has no info.
		I'm happy with Freedb - only about 30 CDs (most of them very rare classical music CDs) of my more than 900 CD collection were not in the database.
		Therefore, I don't find the freedb vs. cddb thing to be a problem at all, IMHO.

	FreeDB cant connect - Seite 12 - Digital-Inn
		I am not sure if it is a security setting in one of my routers, but I close the program down, disconnect my network connection (physically), reconnect the network connection and then start the program.
		Problem: connection with the net was intermittent and EAC rarely could connect with the freedb.
		I also had the intermittent freedb problem: EAC would sometimes fail to find the album info on freedb, but other software (MediaMonkey) would have no trouble.

	dbpowerAMP - looking up freedb when offline from the net (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
		The FreedB data that you acess through dBpowerAMP Music Converter is saved on your system.
		What you can do is to take a large number of cd's you plan to rip (sooner or later), connect to the internet at a time that works for you and family, open Audio CD Input and simply load each cd into your drive to generate the FreedB data for each disc.
		my edits are rarely serious enough to merit posting to freedb (where they only create more data clutter for all users), but it makes it more time-consuming to rip masses of cds as a batch process.

		To begin using freedb, be sure you have an established Internet connection, then click on the Connect to checkbox.
		This is most useful when you see errors in freedb's data: simply correct the data in this view, submit the corrections back to the CD data server for posterity, then click on the Add button to import the data into your VisiTrax library.
		While the freedb community tends to list artists using the form "John Smith", or "The Beach Boys", you might prefer the catalog index format, such as "Smith, John" or "Beatles, The" (or just "Beatles").

		If you are behind a firewall, software or hardware, you must open it for AG in order to make it work.
		Since that DLink is a firewall as well, you probably need to open it up and allow AG access to the internet.
		The Dlink is only a four connection router so maybe you can bypass it a couple of minutes and try to connect to freedb at that time.

		Over time, this archive has grown to contain a substantial collection of CD information (over 700,000 album titles) and continues to grow at a rapid rate.
		The VisiTrax CD Player accesses the freedb servers using HTTP (the same text-based protocol used by web browsers) as an outer layer, and within that, the standard "CDDB" (CD database) protocol used by freedb.org.
