Moderators

There are senior members on the forums who serve as Moderators. These volunteers keep the board organized and moving.
Moderators are authorized to: (in order of increasing severity)
Move posts to the correct forums. Many times, members post in the wrong forum. These off-topic posts may impede the normal operation of the forum.
Edit posts. Moderators will edit posts that are offensive or break any of the House Rules.
Delete posts. Posts that cannot be edited to comply with the House Rules will be deleted.
Restrict members. This is one of the last punishments before a member is banned. Restrictions may include placing all new posts in a moderation queue or temporarily banning the offender.
Ban members. The most severe punishment. Three or more moderators or administrators must agree to the ban for this action to occur. Banning is reserved for very severe offenses and members who, after many warnings, fail to comply with the House Rules. Banning is permanent. Bans cannot be removed by the moderators and probably won't be removed by the administration.


The Rules

1. Warez, copyright violation, or any other illegal activity may NOT be linked or expressed in any form. Topics discussing techniques for violating these laws and messages containing locations of web sites or other servers hosting illegal content will be silently removed. Multiple offenses will result in consequences. File names are not required to discuss your issues. If filenames are copyright then do not belong on these forums & will be edited out or post removed. Picture sample attachments in posts must not include copyright infringement.

2. Spamming and excessive advertising will not be tolerated. Commercial advertising is not allowed in any form, including using in signatures.

3. There will be no excessive use of profanity in any forum.

4. There will be no racial, ethnic, or gender based insults, or any other personal attacks.

5. Pictures may be attached to posts and signatures if they are not sexually explicit or offensive. Picture sample attachments in posts must not include copyright infringement.

6. Remember to post in the correct forum. Take your time to look at other threads and see where your post will go. If your post is placed in the wrong forum it will be moved by a moderator. There are specific Gnutella Client sections for LimeWire, Phex, FrostWire, BearShare, Gnucleus, Morpheus, and many more. Please choose the correct section for your problem.

7. If you see a post in the wrong forum or in violation of the House Rules, please contact a moderator via Private Message or the "Report this post to a moderator" link at the bottom of every post. Please do not respond directly to the member - a moderator will do what is required.

8. Any impersonation of a forum member in any mode of communication is strictly prohibited and will result in banning.

9. Multiple copies of the same post will not be tolerated. Post your question, comment, or complaint only once. There is no need to express yourself more than once. Duplicate posts will be deleted with little or no warning. Keep in mind a forum censor may temporarily automatically hold up your post, if you do not see your post, do not post again, it will be dealt with by a moderator within a reasonable time. Authors of multiple copies of same post may be dealt with by moderators within their discrete judgment at the time which may result in warning or infraction points, depending on severity as adjudged by the moderators online.

10. Posts should have descriptive topics. Vague titles such as "Help!", "Why?", and the like may not get enough attention to the contents.

11. Do not divulge anyone's personal information in the forum, not even your own. This includes e-mail addresses, IP addresses, age, house address, and any other distinguishing information. Don´t use eMail addresses in your nick. Reiterating, do not post your email address in posts. This is for your own protection.

12. Signatures may be used as long as they are not offensive or sexually explicit or used for commercial advertising. Commercial weblinks cannot be used under any circumstances and will result in an immediate ban.

13. Dual accounts are not allowed. Cannot explain this more simply. Attempts to set up dual accounts will most likely result in a banning of all forum accounts.

14. Video links may only be posted after you have a tally of two forum posts. Video link posting with less than a 2 post tally are considered as spam. Video link posting with less than a 2 post tally are considered as spam.

15. Failure to show that you have read the forum rules may result in forum rules breach infraction points or warnings awarded against you which may later total up to an automatic temporary or permanent ban. Supplying system details is a prerequisite in most cases, particularly with connection or installation issues.

Violation of any of these rules will bring consequences, determined on a case-by-case basis.


Thank You! Thanks for taking the time to read these forum guidelines. We hope your visit is helpful and mutually beneficial to the entire community.

Why don't you use the freedb? CDDB has some not so nice licensing-practices (you aren't allowed to use any other database along with the CDDB).

Try checking freedb:

unfortunetly you can only search using data read from a cd. they have an online web search but this is not much good because the response is html

FreeDb or CDDB searches are only possible from a CD, or for a list of known track lengths on widely deployed CDs. These CDs are commercial by nature, and there's nearly nothing we can do with a collection of MP3s (which don't make a complete CD, and that may have been edited with droped frames or special effects).

The integration of CDDB or FreeDB is only good for CD-Ripper softwares, that create tagged MP3 (or AAC or OggVorbis or WAV or WMA) files from a CD. Once the MP3 is created, the CD is removed, the file is moved to a personnal library, and there's very little chance you'll be able to identify a collection of MP3s within CDDB or FreeDB.

I think that what could be useful however is a way to share and index playing lists, containing URNs that can also be retreived on Gnutella. Searching for CD titles or book titles in a free database of CDs would be a useful tool on Gnutella, and it could be easily made legal: you could search in collections of titles, get information about these items by downloading commented playing lists. Then the playing list could be used to buy CDs online (with compared prices!), or to buy each title individually from various online music sellers.

The bad thing about online music sellers is their limited catalog. You can't search them globally for now, and you can't compare prices. Many users (like me) use Gnutella mostly to search for related titles, without necessarily downloading files.

There are lots of things we could do in Gnutella that are still not used or unexplored. Gnutella should be able to evolve to a true search engine where users can freely contribute their links to relevant contents (unlike Google or AltaVista that sell their placements on search pages by reserving keywords).

Gnutella could as well replace the wellknown service "CiteSeer" for finding citations in books and articles with their references. CiteSeer has now lots of difficulties to manage the traffic, and is quite long. The variety of references found on some subject is slowly pooring, and their system has now problem to scale up. That's where I would love to see a "Gnutella CiteSeer" P2P search...

I'd like to see an interchangeable format for refenring various documents on the web, this format being indexable and searchable in _open_ P2P networks like Gnutella, where everybody can contribute...

I like the spririt of the GNU Encyclopedia which gets richer over time with many contributed articles and translations. An excellent alternative to commercial and expensive encyclopedias.

I like the spirit of the Logos.it online translation dictionnary. This system would evolve and would scale more gracefully if it was deployed on P2P networks, where users would contribute their glossaries and definitions...

There are lots of applications that would work better on the Internet if they evolved to a P2P model instead of central servers that have lots of difficulties to scale and expensive management. The economical model of these systems is very difficult to maintain, and these systems will either collapse or will evolve to paid subscriptions.

gdsimpson and Philippe are right. FreeDB and CDDB are not suitable for what you're looking for but you want maybe take a look at MusicBrainz.org. It's a MP3 hash database...

had a look at at MusicBrainz.org, in theory looks pretty good. Http protocol with an xml req and response. only code examples they have are c++ but documenation is good so probably no too difficult to port to java as limewire already ships with a java http client

The playlist format for Gnutella is already in the making: MAGMA (MAGnet MAnifest).

The first version (0.2) will mostly be a list of magnet-links, but we think about making them completely YAML-compatible, so that they can be extended very easily to include far more information.

Discussions about it here: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/magnet-uri/
