 I tried that, but I don't know what's the service and protocol ?
 For example, I need to connect to either http://www.freedb.org:80 or 
cddb://freedb.freedb.org:8880.
 Protocol seems to be "TCP", and using "CDDBP" as service doesn't work.
 It will complain "bad address-service-protocol combination".
 And how do I specify the port number ?
 It will complain that 'gethostbyname() can't find freedb.freedb.org:8880'.

 Where could I find some details about that ?

 Thanx
