I remember amarok connecting to CDDB or FreeDB servers to lookup and complete information like artist, CD-cover, etc. If that is still the case i find that intrusive and a breach of privacy. If you don't like it turn it of. and it don't send data, it only fetch (without notice) As I understand the workings of FreeDB and CDDB, a "signature" fragment of the CD's raw data is sent as a key to look up album information. Thus you cannot retrieve album information without disclosing the fact

I'm sure some consider that a breach, but as Matthias said, you don't have to use it if you don't want to let anyone know what CDs you possess.
