For querying it's no problem, because the mirrors work. But for doing a manual search, onl www.freedb.org can help.

It is nice to see freedb develop (last additions were Genre and Year a few years ago).



UTF-8 allows non ansi characters (read any foreign), to be stored in a standard ansi string. This allows compatability with such things as freedb which. If you have a player does not support UTF-8, you will see two characters appear instead of the one. ie dĕf might be shown as d-█f

man this site has been down for ages. i wanna use the cue creater program dam it........

Learn to appreciate what has been given to you for free...
