- Lammy 7y agoUpdating FreeDB clients to use Musixbrainz used to be as easy as changing the API URL, but unfortunately Musicbrainz deprecated their side of that interface a year or so ago: https://blog.metabrainz.org/2018/09/18/freedb-gateway-end-of-life-notice-march-18-2019/ https://blog.metabrainz.org/2018/09/18/freedb-gateway-end-of...
- dangravell 7y agoWe run our own FreeDB server at OneMusicAPI which we use to combine with other data. If anyone is inconvenienced by the FreeDB shutdown and needs some short term service to get them by, while they work out what else to do, send us an email and we can see if we can open our FreeDB server. http://www.onemusicapi.com/blog/2014/12/03/retrieving-freedb-album-covers/ http://www.onemusicapi.com/blog/2014/12/03/retrieving-freedb... (this talks about using our API, but we could open our FreeDB access point too).
