I have a similar problem to what has been posted earlier. I believe that "freedb" is shuttered and no longer accessible.
For those interested you may check wikipedia ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freedb ) for history and present situation of freedb..
If the present software points to freedb, then it is useless as is. It may be correctable if a similar database can be found but it is definitely not a "bug". I would expect that another "version" would be necessary depending on the final database chosen.
