OK, but why?
Not meant to flame at all, but . . . what's the point of this? The only benefit of FreeDB that I'm aware of is political -- it's 'free."
FreeDB population
I have found that the FreeDB has a much higher population of non-mainstream music listings than gracenote/cddb. The reason I found this article today is because the CD I got last night, K. K. Null & Disc (nullsonic), is in the FreeDB and not the gracenote/cddb.
OK, but why?
(a) CDDB used to be a freely-available, public service that anyone could use and update. Then the service's operator stole the content and started suing people who were using it. FreeDB operates under a license that makes that impossible. |
