Freedb.org Ending 245

Posted by jamie on Sunday July 02, 2006 @09:04PM from the this-too dept.

haroldag writes "Freedb, the free music database used by tons of CD ripping software, has been shut down due to a disagreement among its developers. One of its developers used a data dump from the original freedb.org and is providing the service at freedb2.org, though, and will be adding features and posting them at his site as they become available. Unfortunately, a database dump or source code for freedb2.org is yet nowhere to be found."

""Freedb, the free music database used by tons of CD ripping software, has been shut down due to a disagreement among its developers."

And in other news. Slashdot has been shut down due to a disagreement between Taco and CowboyNeal. The former likes the new layout, while the latter hates it. Apparently one of the readers has mirrored a copy of the "/. database to slashdot2, which will be undergoing a year long "burning server" effect.

I sincerely hope that in future you will spend a bit more time joining the dots before jumping to such sensational conclusions.

Hell no. This is slashdot, I never let the facts, logic or reason get in the way of a good conspiracy theory. Also I clicked one page past what's linking in TFA, that's practicly research! Slashdot - Fox News for nerds (with a different political slant, too!). I do know how to make serious research and sometimes I do, but mostly it's just much more fun to see what will get modded up...

Sorry to have to break it to you, sonny, but it's really just you.

Who says some developers can't get together and just start "www.reallyfreedb.org?" We can download July version of the dataase, host the software, and continue on as if nothing happened. Anyone interested?
