abcde cddb lookup has stopped working?
 

hi folks,

i use abcde to rip cd's to ogg and flac. in the past it's worked great
but i have a bunch of new cd's to burn and for some reason, abcde has
stopped contacting the cddb servers. I get this error:

Executing customizable pre-read function... done.
Getting CD track info... Querying the CD for audio tracks...
Grabbing entire CD - tracks: 01 02 03 04 05 06 07 08 09 10
CDDB unavailable.

this never used to happen, and other programs trying to access the same
fredb servers have no trouble. has anyone else experienced this and/or
have a likely solution? I thought the issue was in my abcde.conf, but
i;ve replaced it with the dpkg-dist version to no avail.

i appreciate any help you can give. here's the output of
grep ii cddb /etc/abcde.conf, if anyone finds that helpful. thanks!
matt

How long has this been happening? Just the other day I ripped a CD,
and cddb worked perfectly.
