Audacious fails CDDB lookups. The internet says v 4.05 uses gnudb.gnudb.org by default, which should be the proper database. Other operating systems apparently allow manual entry of the database address in the GUI, but I can't find it in the linux version. I glanced at the config files and didn't see any promising entry there either. The Audacious web site doesn't indicate this as a bug. This is also true on my Slackware box, so it's not Gentoo's problem. I just thought a developer could pass this bug upstream. Or, point out my blindness. Thanks.
4.0.5 indeed contains the fix for freedb.org shutdown -> gnudb.gnudb.org lookup https://redmine.audacious-media-player.org/issues/994 https://github.com/audacious-media-player/audacious-plugins/commit/33edaf1a021bc466aea7c6b0bfdd624b951a15ab

- You built media-plugins/audacious-plugins with IUSE=cdda? - Any output when you start audacious from your favorite terminal emulator?
I started the program from a terminal and loaded an audio CD. It listed a couple errors about cddb failure to connect, then started playing without title/track info. So, I stopped and loaded a different CD. The same boxes started popping up, then it started working. So, it was something hindering my connection to the server. It wasn't audacious's fault. Thank you for responding. I will try to close this bug since there's no problem
