Cddb
Hi
While updating from 5.02 version, CDDB stop to work When a new (unknown) CD is inserted, CDDB reports SUCCESS about 1-2 seconds later (NO Querying message ! ) restoring 5.02 solves the problem |

Usually a sign you're not connecting. Check the settings at Prefs > General Prefs > Internet settings. Do you need to reset your firewall to allow the new Winamp version maybe? Can you access Internet radio ? UJ |

same problem
Hi,
I'm having the same problem with the CDDB in the latest version of WA. It too states success, but doesn't appear to be working. I have added access to the relevant hosts for the connection to be made (based on blocked addresses in my firewall's log), but still no luck. If I try to connect to Internet Radio, or other online sources in the media library, I receive the following error: [Error] connecting to host [showing old content] Any ideas? Thanks Cez |

Hi Laverdanny,
I don't suppose that you are using ZoneAlarm as your firewall are you? If so, you may want to try the following to see if you can access the CDDB: - Backup your settings in ZA - Go to the 'program control' - Delete all programs in the list under the 'programs' tab - Delete all components in the list under the 'components' tab - Run WA and put a CD (that you wish to use CDDB on) in the tray, and allow access when requested. It is a little extreme, but you should at least find out if ZA is blocking the CDDB access. You can then make a note of the settings that are in force if CDDB access comes back, and apply them to your backed-up settings after reinstating them. I regained access to the CDDB, but for some reason I still can't access Internet Radio, etc. I still receive the same error (as posted previously). There is nothing showing in the logs that corresponds to access being blocked, so I don't know why that is still not working. Hope that may be of some use to you. rgds Cez |

I have the same problem... does anyone have a solution? As stated on that post, WA 2.95's CDDB works perfectly, but 5.094's doesn't |

Count me in as well - using Win98SE, with no firewall. CDDB says "success", but nothing happens (v5.094).

Yeah, same problem here. First I thought it was my fault:
My last Post Maybe we should all post a reply there and confirm this socalled nonexisting BUG. If you do so, don't forget your system specs. |

Failure to connect to CDDB bug report filed
I've posted an official bug report regarding this error here. Hopefully the details given will help the devs to pinpoint what change between 5.08 and the current 5.094 broke CDDB connectivity. The additional experiment I ran shows that connectivity is still working properly as of 5.08.
Although CDDB connectivity isn't critical to Winamp operation, lack of it certainly is a PITA. Plus, I'm a bit dubious about running a version with the id3v2 tag security vulnerability just to keep CDDB database access. Really hoping for a fix to this in the very near future. Purrs -- -- Ocelot |

I've gone back to 5.092 until this is sorted out, so CDDB functionality is certainly not an issue even that far back. I don't have 5.093 to test.

Dialup connection?
I've got the notion, perhaps it's not a CDDB but a dialup prob as I temporarily switched the preferences to DSL and it worked somehow, alas CDDB wouldn't cache requests (which it probably is not supposed to do, when your prefs are like that). Strangely enough only then Winamp would register! So I might have a different prob as the rest here?

I only have DialUp connection, maybe DSL can introduce some problems, but it's not my case

I don't do anything differently when using 5.092 or 5.094 in terms of installation. Anything external to Winamp should affect both versions, but CDDB works with 5.092, and not with 5.094. |

It would indeed appear to be a dialup problem. I reinstalled 5.094 and changed the connection status to DSL, as Mr. Zeller did. CDDB was then able to connect. If I change it back to dialup, then CDDB does not connect.
Besides being an obvious bug, I wonder if there are any other problems that might crop up by leaving the status set to DSL when it really isn't. |

Confirming both mcarp555 and Michael Zeller's reports, I can reproduce the same program behavior with a clean install of 5.094 on Win98 SE w/ a dial-up connection:
Internet connection type set to: - "Connected via dial-up (modem)" results in failure of Winamp to connect to CDDB database - "Always connected (LAN, DSL, cable)" results in successful connection to CDDB database Weird bug, but it makes sense in terms of the connectivity issue. Hopefully it's an easy tweak to fix. Purrs -- -- Ocelot |

As the officials are not able to confirm this 'bug'. I'm going to post my specs and a HJT-log here. Everyone else, who encountered our little dialup bug, is invited to do also, as I can see from the official bug reports comments by DJ Egg.

since I upgraded, I get nothing at all about Cddb... I've put in about 200 cd's since I upgraded and I don't even get the little box anymore that it's trying to connect.. caused me to have to painfully manually alter the names of each rip.

@ Maxil
Make sure you installed the Full version. CDDB is NOT included with Lite. @ everyone else I'll bring this to Benski's attention at the first available opportunity (note, it's the weekend). So basically, the bug is that CDDB doesn't work for dialup modem users unless Always Connected (DSL/Cable) option is selected? I'll try to reproduce this later on (when I find an opportune moment to disconnect my ADSL line and use the dialup modem). |

@DJ Egg: It seems so, otherwise as I stated above my Winamp won't register with Winamp.com, unless I switch it to DSL.
And I can't get any 5.x version from oldversion.com to run without that flaw. Unlike the others who run 5.x without that error. I didn't install any other 5.x/2.9x version before 5.094 full but 5beta! At least in my case there is also something registryrelated to the whole thing. Michael |

Ahh good deal.. For some reason I thought last time I upgraded I didn't have to enter in the reg info.. I swear I looked it at earlier and it said pro... ah well all better now, and cddb is working fine for me. Thanks. Now is there a way I can call it up to name the cd's and songs I havn't got around to renaming manually yet? (blonde) ![]() |

Hi all
sorry to be back so late... You are right, switching from Dialup to DSL/Always connected make CDDB work fine. Actually, I don't realize how it switched to Dialup, because I'm an AOL user and in that case it doesn't make sense to set it up as Dialup, Applications can't automatically start a dialup connection... My Winamp 5.02 was setted up as AlwaysOn, do WA 5.094 change this setting ? maybe Install process consider Dialup as default value, without looking for existing versions of WA and for related setting about internet connection... Thanks to you all !!!! Daniel |

Yes, the default setting is "Dialup Modem", but that is only for clean installs. If you install straight on top of an existing 5.x version (ie. in the same dir) then the current/previous settings are kept (well, they are for me anyway, heh). For clean installs it's up to the user to change the Connection Type during the setup process (screen 5).
ps. note that I still haven't had the opportunity to try reproduce the supposed bug, but will as soon as I get a chance to use my dialup modem (sorry, but I'm using the ADSL connection almost 24/7). [Edit] CDDB works fine for me with a dialup modem w/ dialup connection selected in prefs on WinXP, so it looks like it's a Win98-only issue (probably VC7 compiler related) |

Please note that this issue is now fixed for the next release.
I've tested it on Win98SE with a 56k dialup modem with "Connected via Dialup modem" selected in Prefs, and all internet connectivity (cddb, online media, etc) works just fine. Yes, I reproduced the issue, but I can now confirm that it's fixed. But for now (with Winamp 5.1), you'll need to select "Always connected" instead. |

Good news that it's been fixed. I tried to test a patch from Benski, but it kept crashing my system. I guess it got resolved anyway. Looking forward to whatever the next release is (5.2?).

There is a simple fix for this. I think its a small bug in either the cddb code or in the code when you change the connection type you have after you install Winamp.
Easy fix, just download and reinstall Winamp ![]() KeRbDoG |

I'm running WinXP Media Edit. 2005 and I'm on a dial-up connection. I installed Winamp 5.0.1.0 Sept 1. The last time I ripped a CD was Sept. 4 and had no problem with CDDB. I tried to rip a CD today and now cannot get the album info from CDDB. Changing the connection preference to "always on" has no effect. The Gracenote window pops up saying "Querying", then says "Success", but the CD song titles only say "Track 1", "Track 2", etc.

Try this.
Make sure you have 'Use CDDB' set in Prefs > Input > Nullsoft CD plugin ... Close and restart Winamp. Go to the Media Library view and show the CD. Press <Alt+3> (or otherwise show the CDDB edit dialogue) Press the [Remove titles] button. (automatic exit) *** Hopefully CDDB will then update itself. There can be a problem if you use <Alt+3> and the ML window is not in focus, then the ML display may not be in sync with what's actually in the database until you perform some operation. Can be confusing, but I don't think this is the case here though. *** If you use the <Alt+3> dialogue and the [CDDB] button instead of [Remove titles] then you must exit with [Save]. UJ |

OK, ujay.
I have opened the "edit CD info" window, removed the titles and clicked the CDDB box multiple times. Then I found your post tonight. I opened up the CD plugin, the CDDB box was already checked. I unchecked it, closed winamp, restarted winamp, rechecked the box, closed winamp and restarted winamp again. Then I opened the "edit CD info" window, removed the titles and clicked the CDDB box again. No difference. |

Not sure then.
You get the sequence Querying ... [Processing] ... Success. Can you edit the titles manually in the info box without problem? This happens with all CDs now? UJ |

Um, The CDDB window pops up, but no longer says "querying". Just "Success!", then no CD info.
I tried two different cd's so far: Clerks (Soundtrack) Death Row's Greatest hits Disc 1 same result with both. CD info can be entered manually. And yes, I tried changing the connection pref. from dial-up to always on and back again. (I'm on dial-up) |

That sounds like you're not connecting then.
Can you check your firewall, sometimes they need resetting if you later upgrade a program that you earlier gave permission to. Can you listen to radio streams OK. Otherwise can't really think of anything else unless there's still some dial up problem. UJ |
