Hello,

i've the same problem since yesterday evening. There was a problem on [freedb.org](http://freedb.org).  
Please try [tracktype.org](http://tracktype.org) as alternative.

Greetings,

Hi born2blove,

[freedb.freedb.org](http://freedb.freedb.org) is working again. I hope you had success with [tracktype.org](http://tracktype.org) until now.

Greetings,

I am also using the same setup, but still cannot connect to freedb server. I get an error "server returned invalid response".

Setup is: Name: Random freedb server  
address : [freedb.freedb.org](http://freedb.freedb.org)  
Path: /~cddb/cddb.cgi  
Port : 80  
email address : [user@domain.com](mailto:user@domain.com)

I had the same problem using EAC, but changing [freedb.freedb.org](http://freedb.freedb.org) into [freedb2.org](http://freedb2.org) solved the problem. However trying the same in MP3Tag does not solve it and I still get the same error message.

Am I doing something wrong?

Thanks.

Alessandro
