Get Tags Online - Error accessing Freedb website

[gkerdal]

The functionality "Get Tags Online" doesn't get the data any more.

Excerpt from the logs :
Error while trying to connect to freedb server, freedb.freedb.org. Check your internet connection settings

The library used is entagged-freedb-0.04.jar (last version up to date)

The website freedb.freedb.org redirects to https://gnudb.org
But unfortunately the main page tells us "It is not allowed to use the gnudb service anonymously."

Should we look for an alternative library and tag source ?

I would look for an anonymous alternative or drop this feature all together. Most music files already contain tags nowdays I guess...

Another alternative would be to add login/pwd parameters to a new service (like opensubtitle in VLC for instance) but not sure we really need this ...

Ok, I pushed a fix to use gnudb.gnudb.org as server in Freedb settings. No needs to change the lib !

Fine !
