If you have old software that uses CDDB to retrieve track info for CD playback and you want it to still work (CDDB and FreeDB are gone), I got you:

#Gamers were right to be worried. Giant companies love to #rugpull their fans, tempting them into a commons with lofty promises of a system that we will all have a stake in, using the fans for unpaid creative labor, then #enclosing the fans' work and selling it back to them. It's a tale as old as #CDDB and #Disgracenote:

Are there any free #CDDB servers out there? My defaults have shut down and https://codeyarns.com/tech/2020-08-27-how-to-set-cddb-server.html isn't looking too good either.

@kranfahrer Meistens arbeitet solche Software im Hintergrund mit #cddb (https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compact_Disc_Database). Ein Webinterface gibt es unter https://gnudb.org/search.php.

Unter #Linux nutze ich zur Abfrage #grip (https://wiki.ubuntuusers.de/Grip/) - einfach CD einlegen und Knopf drücken 😏

En organisant ma sonothèque, j'ai trouvé au moins 3 CD complètement mal indexés et donc mal référencés dans la base #CDDB. Je me demande pour combien de décennies encore les discographies de Miles Davis, Duke Ellington et Count Basie resteront inexactes.
