Description abrahams 2011-03-26 20:24:55 UTC 
Version:           2.0.1 (using KDE 4.6.1) 
OS:                Linux

The CD ripping interface for k3b has a number of references to CDDB, but it does not work with CDDB.  CDDB is a specific database that was taken over by Gracenote and apparently no longer even is marketed under that name.  k3b is set up to work with freedb instead and doesn't work with CDDB at all.  The references to CDDB on the tracks page and in the settings should be replaced by something else -- perhaps "CD Database", "Database", or even "freedb".  Calling that database CDDB is inaccurate and misleading.

Dear Bug Submitter,

This bug has been stagnant for a long time. Could you help us out and re-test if the bug is valid in the latest version? I am setting the status to NEEDSINFO pending your response, please change the Status back to REPORTED when you respond.

Thank you for helping us make KDE software even better for everyone!

Confirming problem still exists with K3b 18.08.2.

I've tested with K3B 22.08.3; it seems references to CDDB have been replaced with "CD Database".  I'm tentatively marking this issue as resolved, but if I overlooked any stray occurrences of "CDDB", please indicate exactly where they are and reopen this bug.
