I had the same thing on Mdk 10.1. After some experimentation, I determined that the cddb server url (Extras -> Configure KsCD -> freedb) should be: freedb.freedb.org The 8880 port is correct. Enter the server url exactly as I've shown, no "http://"; or other protocol (okay, technically, without a protocol, it's not a url, but I didn't know what else to call it 8^). KsCD already knows to use the "cddb://" protocol. The KsCD people seem to be pointing it to the freedb home page by default, instead of to the database itself. Or maybe the freedb web site was changed after this default was configured. -- Ron ronhd at users dot sourceforge dot net Opinions expressed here are all mine. ____________________________________________________ Want to buy your Pack or Services from Mandriva?
