I've tested this with sound-juicer as well as running tcpdump. I'm no 
expert at tcpdump, but it seems that when you read the cd, it only tries 
to connect to a mm.musicbrainz.org. I don't see any connection attempt 
to freedb.org or any of the alternatives I've set my preferences at. 
Anyway, musicbrainz.org resolves correctly to its IP address, but it 
seems that the host is down.

Will have to check bugzilla and see if this has been filed. Anyway, can 
anyone verify what I am seeing (the connections only going to 
musicbrainz.org)? It seems this has been hardcoded into sound-juicer for 
FC2.
