Not a firewall problem.. no idea what's wrong.

Freedb.org works fine in my browser...

INFO (foo_freedb) : Querying freedb server...
WARNING (foo_freedb) : Connection with current freedb server failed

The server I'm using is - http://freedb.freedb.org/~cddb/cddb.cgi

Try different server, they're sometimes down.

I had this problem today. I think they moved around some of the freedb mirrors. Head over to the main page and get an up to date list and punch it into foobar. That fixed it for me.

Please, can you explain what have you done to make freedb works agin?...I cant find a working server...
thanks

Go there and pick the server geographically closest to you. Put it into foo_freedb and use it as the default.
