Can't get tagger to work

[frankenpod]

I can't get the automatic lookup of cd tracks to work. I have it set under options to use MusicBrainz, but whenever I try to look up a CD it gives an error:

There was an error while connecting to musicbrainz.org: HTTP/1.1 404 Not Found



I also can't get the 'tagger' for already-ripped tracks to work. It insists on starting up Internet Explorer (!), then asks me to log into discogs (which I do) then I 'authorise' MM to access my discogs account. But it doesn't do anything, the next time I try it goes through the same process again. (And how do I tell it I don't use IE, by the way? I can't see an option to tell it to use a different browser)

MM gold 4.1.30.1914

Yes, MediaMonkey 4 relies on Internet Explorer. This is no longer a problem with MediaMonkey 5: https://www.mediamonkey.com/forum/viewt ... 86639&sd=d

For Discogs Tagger problems use this forum thread instead: https://www.mediamonkey.com/forum/viewt ... =2&t=19168

Does the FreeDB (hosted by MediaMonkey) option work? I don't have issues with MusicBrainz in MediaMonkey 4 or 5. You may have a problem letting MediaMonkey connect to the internet. Does the Web node in the Media Tree work?

Thanks. I don't know how to fill in the options for using FreeDB - what to put for server name, user name, user domain. If I leave the defaults it just says it can't find the cd in the database (for any cd I try)

[Lowlander]

Select Protocol: Freeddb (HTTP) and all should be set correctly. Server name should say: mb.mediamonkey.com no username user domain needed.

OK, seem to have the discogs tagging working now (I think was doing the 'authorisation' and pressing 'OK' in the wrong order before)

[frankenpod]

OK, for some reason it didn't have those values as the defaults (something else, with "US" in it, can't remember what it was now) I changed it to those values and now it (the musicbrainz tagger) is working. Thanks very much for your help.
