I have just installed ver 10.0.
I have not been able to figure out how to make the CDDB tool lookup work.
Where do I need to go to config it?
K3B, KAudio Creater, Audiocd:/ and Amarko K, will not auto look up.
All the programs see the CD and show tracks, but it gives no name
KAudio Creater tells me "Unable to retrieve CDDB information."
With Ver 9.0-9.3 to auto configured for me.
Where do I make my system config changes at?
I looked in Yast, and KDE control center.

I do not think there is a system wide method of turning on cddb lookup. In the programs I use that have cddb capability (e.g. Grip, Kover, K3B), I had to activate them in each program's preferences.

Thanks, that was the lead I needed.
In KaudioCD creater I changed a setting to "Lookup and Cach" and it worked.
This also allowed audiocd:/ to find the names also.
K3B had that setting also.
Still can't Amarko K to do it. (It won't even read an audio CD.)
Thanks.

to answer my own question: yes.

the audiocd:/ io slave wont get CDDB info right after you install SuSE 10.0 OSS.

You have to run KAudioCreator and do settings -> configure -> CDDB. I set it cache and remote. Immediately after doing that the audiocd:/ io slave gets CDDB info and I'm off to the races.

Just thought I'd spell it out for other people just starting.

And if even that does not work, there might be another solution:
