Looks like they've closed off general access to the cddb servers from "unauthorized" applications. On top of that, if you look into cddb licensing it says that users will have to register with their service for your application to get that data even after its "authorized" to "enhance" the user experience. What kind of anti-privacy $#@^% is this? After years of people gathering and entering the data for them for FREE they go and pull this. Just peachy. -Crh Charles Henrich ** This space for rent ** henrich@sigbus.com http://www.sigbus.com/~henrich To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-multimedia" in the body of the message
