--- Comment #4 from Tristan Miller <psychonaut at nothingisreal.com> ---
The purpose of this bug is (1) to get k3b to stop using freeDB.org after the
end of this month, and (2) to add functionality for a similar service that can
be used to look up album information when ripping audio CDs.  As far as you and
I know, Musicbrainz is the only such similar service.  That means that the
blocking bug, Bug 80933, needs to be fixed (or verified as being already
fixed).

If anyone else reading this issue can name another freeDB.org-like service,
preferably one that is free to use and uses the same API as freeDB.org, then
that would provide an alternative solution to the present bug.  (That is, one
that might be as easy as replacing all references in k3b to the freeDB.org
domain to the domain of the new service.)
