The freedb cd lookup service is dead! So don't be surprised if your cd ripping software doesn't find disc information for your audio CD's.
There's ongoing dicussion about it on Hydrogenaudio here.

I'm just glad I have all my audio CD's info backed up in CDex's LocalCDDB and in EAC's database, and in cdplayer.ini.
