Freedb.org Ending

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the this-too dept.

haroldag writes "Freedb, the free music database used by tons of CD ripping software, has been shut down due to a disagreement among its developers. One of its developers used a data dump from the original freedb.org and is providing the service at freedb2.org, though, and will be adding features and posting them at his site as they become available. Unfortunately, a database dump or source code for freedb2.org is yet nowhere to be found."

    "Unfortunately, a database dump or source code for freedb2.org is yet nowhere to be found."
    So _that_ is why I got the "Nothing to see here" message.

    Oh well - I'm probably going to get flamed for this....

    but there's no honor among theives.

    Just stop being a bunch of cheap a-holes and BUY music that you like.

    That's the one which was destroyed by Michael Sims and his rampant, uncontrollable ego. You remember Michael? He used to be an 'Editor' here at Slashdot for a while. Before they finally figured out what a tossbag he was and fired him...although they should never have hired him in the first place, and probably did more damage to Slashdot by doing so than anything else.
