OK, but why?
Authored by: al451 on Jan 17, '04 05:57:43PM

(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.

(b) When FreeDB gets an entry wrong, you can get it fixed. When CDDB gets it wrong, you can't. Enough said.

The quality of CDDB's listings for the CDs that I have is generally much, much worse than FreeDB's. Others' experience may vary.
