What's new in Phile Audio 2.2.0

Aug 18, 2020
  • Phile Audio now uses gnudb.org in place of freedb.org:
  • On the 13th of June 2020 it was observed that the URL used for lookups, freedb.freedb.org, no longer resolved to a host name and as a result the service no longer appears to operate. gnudb.org has continued to provide the freedb.org database after freedb.org was shutdown.
