since 16.04.2024 I get an error requesting freedb for any request. Response error code is " The server failed to return a valid query response code" . Using mp3tag 3.25. until 15.042024 it was working fine, nothing was changed in configuration for gnudb-server.

I was in contact with the person who runs the gnudb server today, and it seems they have put some restrictions on access to the service that were a little overly restrictive.
It should be back to normal now.
