From the same page http://www.freedb.org/ Is there a topic here at nsane about this? One day? I use dbpoweramp CD Ripper which uses freedb. EDIT: Not one day, it's closing down.

mp68terr Posted January 11, 2020 Share Posted January 11, 2020 According to the freedb site, and if I got it right, the database is a bit less than 1GB and there is an updater.exe too (http://ftp.freedb.org/pub/freedb/). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But how does this help? If someone took over and provider a server, I can how this could help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
