The freedb cd lookup service is dead! So don't be surprised if your cd ripping software doesn't find disc information for your audio CD's.
There's ongoing dicussion about it on Hydrogenaudio here.

Hope so because if it doesn't continue is someway it will be a royal pain for allot of cd ripping apps that utilize it. At least CDex can use MusicBrainz now.
I'm just glad I have all my audio CD's info backed up in CDex's LocalCDDB and in EAC's database, and in cdplayer.ini.

Yeah, it is good to keep many backups.
