68k CD player with cddb or freedb?

I was rummaging through some old CDs earlier and found a copy of NetCD. Now that I've managed to get my external Sun CD working with my LC III I wanted to try out some audio CDs and it'd be nice to have the titles pulled from the net. But the first step to getting NetCD working nowadays is to change the CDDB server lookup to freedb and try as I might it just will not work. It seems to connect ok but all I get after that is "no response from server. trying again". I've tried freedb mirror sites, IP addresses and freedb2.org but the outcome is always the same.

Does anyone know of a 68k player that will work with freedb or cddb? MacGarden is down right now so I'm at a loss for finding alternatives.

Update:

Managed to get NetCD working by using a hosts file from that site to redirect cddb to freedb. Sweet!
