I dunno if this helps but the version of CDEX I'm running is 1.70 beta 1. So if you're running a different version you might try installing the one I am and see if that doesn't work. If you're already running it, go into your settings with f4, and in the remote cddb tab, set your server to Freedb.Freedb.org, and make sure the connect to remote cddb check box is checked. If all that is correct and you still don't get results, maybe try another cd that you know should have a listing, make it something super popular, like oh, gosh i dunno a beatles cd if ya have one. Or something like Dark Side of The Moon by Pink Floyd. I'm talking a cd that absolutely should be listed, this way we can tell if it's the cd itself not being listed, or if it's a problem with the connection, or CDEX itself.
