Sounds like you've got a fairly old abcde; IIRC, the current (testing) version uses freedb by default. Anyhow, to fix this, open up /usr/bin/abcde in your text editor of choice and find the line that assigns a value to CDDBURL. Change it to: CDDBURL="http://freedb.freedb.org/~cddb/cddb.cgi"; and you should be good to go. -- When we reduce our own liberties to stop terrorism, the terrorists have already won. - reverius Innocence is no protection when governments go bad. - Mr. Slippery
