CDDB/freedb and ad blocking tricks
Authored by: j-beda on May 11, '01 03:49:08PM
What I would like to do is modify the way iTunes (and other programs) access the database of song titles. There are instructions for doing so in OS 9.1 by playing with the hosts here: http://www.cam.org/~cwatson/freedb/freedb.html, but no instructions for OS X.

Can I just take my hosts file from 9.1 (which also includes a bunch of ad blocking stuff) and use "niload" to merge it into netinfo? Or is the 9.1 hosts file in a different format than the etc/hosts file should be? There are directions for the format of the 9.1 file at Apple's site. Are there any resources for the fomat of the file for Mac OS X anywhere?
