The link posted by aibeira is correct, and Imho should be preferred over the copy hosted by GoldWave.

http ://gnudb.gnudb.org/~cddb/cddb.cgi is an open source alternative link to the original freedb which was started as open source as well but later owned by Magix. Magix shut down the server in June 2020.

gnudb.org is used by a large community, not only by users of the (excellent) GoldWave software. If you get wrong titles on an album then this is because someone submitted incorrect album information, and not because the service does not do it's job. Change it and resubmit it to help others with such an album.

Note that "freedb.goldwave.ca" can be used as the server in the CD Reader tool options.
Thank you!

After doing some updates I did not even notice this had changed.

"Save Titles" is not in the "Help" however. Did an internet search and found myself back here.

Thank you again!!!
