 When selecting "Rip CD" in mythmusic with a CD is in the drive, mythmusic
 scans the CD. When it does so, it makes requests to freedb.musicbrainz.org
 for every track on the CD. Since this endpoint is no longer working, the
 request hits the timeout before failing and moving onto the next track.
 This is repeated for each track resulting in the screen freezing until all
 requests have finished timing out.

 I believe this functionality lives in cddb.cpp

 As a proof of concept, I've added the following entry to my /etc/hosts so
 the requests fail sooner, and found that whilst scanning the CD it only
 freezes for a couple of seconds:

 127.0.0.1       localhost freedb.musicbrainz.org

 It seems that the service has closed down based on this article:
