I don't believe Argonne hosts CDDB
Also it still did that with cddb turned off and
manually hitting CDDB showed a different address in
the firewall. and after blocking Argonne in the
firewall CDDB still worked. Although this could all be
explained by reidrects, It didn;t look that way.

This was in Breezy it may have been changed later. I
dont know.

After several Glitches with Gnomebaker AND K3b and the
questionable use of Codecs We changed to Commercial CD
software so now we don't have a potential codec
licensing problem. That problem would now be Nero's.
