For those that do not know: As of March 31, 2020, freedb (freedb.freedb.org) has shutdown. Most abcde code had already switched to musicbrainz as the default database. I tested what happens if "cddb" is chosen. It will always give you a "blank template". Luckily, it seems to "not crash". Alan W. Kerr awkerr at aoc.nrao.edu Whee!(tm)
