The freedb Submit tab



The freedb Submit tab sets up connection to a mail server or a web server to submit new CDDB entries. This is useful if you do not have your own system configured as a server.

If you plan to submit a CDDB entry, first you must decide between submitting between HTTP and submitting the entry as an email (via SMTP).

Tip

It is simpler to submit new entries using HTTP. Some firewalls block this traffic. If your firewall prevents you from sending new entries using HTTP, you can use SMTP.

First select either HTTP or SMTP (Email) to determine which protocol to use.

Using HTTP to send CDDB information

You can enter a server name or port number in the text boxes provided. If you want to send this information to the international servers, you do not need to change anything.

Using SMTP (Email) to send CDDB information

To prepare to submit information using email, enter your email address in the textbox labeled Reply-To:, your email server in the textbox labeled SMTP-server: and select the port number in the dropdown box labeled Port:.

If you need to use a password to send email using the email server, place a mark in the checkbox labeled Server needs authentication and enter your username in the textbox labeled Username:.

The Help button opens the KsCD help contents page. The Defaults button restores the default values of all entries in this dialog; OK saves the current settings and exits; Apply saves the current settings without exiting; Cancel exits without saving.
