I could not reproduce your error with default settings in my Xubuntu 20.04 VM. Even if I clicked 'Go' without tracks selected, it did not erase my input on track names, etc., and the button was still clickable.
Anyway, while freedb.freedb.org may be gone, there are still alternatives/mirrors. Change the CDDB URL to: freedb.dbpoweramp.com/~cddb/cddb.cgi Does cddb work correctly then? ** Changed in: ripperx (Ubuntu) Status: New => Incomplete -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1886844 Title: 'go' button won't activate To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ripperx/+bug/1886844/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
