It used to work I'm sure, but I haven't used MJB for a while & have no idea where I'm going wrong. All I get is "Socket open failed[S2fa000a]". Can anyone help me?

Try reinstalling.  Another music program is using a different version of CDDB.  Uninstalling the other program may also fix it.

[thebard]

I had uninstalled MusicMatchJukebox immediately after I reg'd MJ. The only CDDB files in "Find" were thr JRiver onhes sorry- ones.
I tried "Search Talkback" & there's such a lot on rthis subject that I'm even more confused. I never gave myself a CDDB reg'n or password when I first installed MJ, & think this must have started when I upgraded to 7.2.
I'm on Win 98 SE & I do hgave ZoneAlarmPro - which didn't interfere with CDDB lookup before.
So should I yunistal & reinstal MJ - or do I have to uninstal & reinstal ZAPro, it's not the new ZAPro version. And what do I do about the CDDB password - MJ keeps saying it's not in the database. Sorry for all thr questions, I just want to get it right.

[thebard]

Me again. I altered ZAPro's "options, access permissions" just then for MJ to give it access to the Internet without having to ask ZA's permission, and CDDB lookup was immediately successful. But I much prefer that all programs have to ask permission to access the Net.
I guess I can use this as a workaround just for CDDB lookup & then restore ZA's usual setting.
Or is there some other way - re-instal something?

thebard,

Unfortunately we are not in control of how CDDB accesses the Internet. We use object provided by CDDB (Gracenote Inc.).

I have had MJ for a few weeks and the CDDB has never worked.  Nothing happens when I click lookup info for track?  Any ideas? Is there any setup info I have forgotten to do? or any reg info I havent filled in?

Thanks

nothing happens, not even a message box that pops up?

no cddb Animated icon that shows up in the upper left of your screen?

in settings, options, Device Settings, Is The Enable CDDB [X] Checked?

[Scammer88]

I just read some info.....my control.dll isnt working.  eg when i put a cd in it says cant get ICDDBCONTROL interface for CDDB Control??

[Smiler]

Hi Nikolay
Maybe it is time MJ took control again and stuff CDDB ?
Then again I should say for the most part they are OK but when their programme/object/ messes up MJ stops too.

Reinstall MJ see if that will help

reboot

[Scammer88]

[KingSparta]

yes

[Scammer88]

thanks that worked sort of!   got it to come up with the registration screen.....prob is now says socket open fail, then says you must register.  doh, thats what im trying to do... ?   any ideas?

[KingSparta]

Do you Have A Proxy?

If So You Must Use The Proxy Info

settings, options, Device Settings, [X] Enable on-line CD Lookup Click "Settings"

Enter Proxy Settings If You Have Any

If You Do Have A Proxy But Don't Remember The Settings: This Info Is Listed In Internet Explorer Connection Settings

--------------------------------------

Also you Will See On That Screen CDDB Registration, This Is Required By GraceNote CDDB That You Input Some Of Your Data To Use There CDDB Lookup Service.

[Scammer88]

I sussed it...I have webtrap running.  Shut it down and completed rego without proxy settings.  Thanks for the advice.......

[KingSparta]

>> I have webtrap running
if that blocks like a firewall then that could have been the "socket open fail" msg

i take it it is working now?

[Scammer88]

ooops was working...retrieved one track info....now says s89a000 or somethiing socket open fail...... i must have jinxed it.....i turned off my antivirus, webtrap, popscan, everything....still nothing.....

[KingSparta]

i don't have the CDDB SDK Doc File handy to look up that error code, maybe i will get it monday and post any info i find, not that it will help.

maybe a reboot.
