I just downloaded Asunder and ran it and get an Unknown Host Name error which apparently is because freedb is no longer a thing. That was 9 months ago. Why was Asunder still try to access freedb and what can be used in its place?

~$ sudo apt install asunder

The very latest version of Asunder does not in fact use freedb, having successfully moved the default cddb lookup to gnudb. Older versions of Asunder (versions before 2.9.6) can be brought back to life by changing the relevant settings under:

Preferences --> Advanced --> CDDB

Alter your settings in this location to match the following:

And then all should be well...
