If you use Audition to rip audio CDs, you've been able to utilize the FreeDB service for capturing the album and track metadata.  Unfortunately, FreeDB was taken offline a few months ago and the default settings will no longer work.  Fortunately, the service has been spun off as a new open-source service known as GnuDB, using the same API and protocol as before.  You can update Audition to utilize GnuDB by clicking the settings wrench in the Extract Audio from CD dialog and change the CDDB Server setting to gnudb.gnudb.org
