MusicBrainz Database Updates

I don't know if it's just me, but MusicBrainz seems extremely slow today and is not providing cover images.

Did you look at their site? 😉

The Internet Archive (which provides the images) is under DOS. It has been going on for a couple of days now.

You can switch to a different image provider in Picard, or temporarily disable fetching images from the image archive. Picard will be faster than.

Last time I tagged, discogs wasn't showing images either

I did look at their site, but I apparently don't know how to access info on it as well as you do. Thanks!

I always rip CD's with Exact Audio Copy (or almost always). I used to be able to get all the info there and get autofill for the track names, artists, etc. I think from freeDB.
Guess I'm missing something, but I no longer get that. Instead for new releases (no clue about older ones) I have to type in everything.
If someone can tell me how to get the info through EAC I'd be appreciative.

I used to do submissions to AccurateRip pretty often years ago.

The Freedb database servers were shutdown a couple years ago, maybe longer. They’ve now been reinstated on new servers but any software using Freedb needs to be updated with new server IP address. Update to latest version of your s/w, that may fix your issue.
