    No. For every song the first 135 seconds are used to create a Fingerprintz.
    This fingerprint is then used to look it up at Musicbrainz.

    There is nothiong submitted about your pc, or filename, etc.

    I'm doing a standard HTTP request to Musicbrainz, with the fingerprint as parameter.
    ofc, the people at MusicBrainz have your IP, since somehow you need to connect to the Wenbserver. right?
    It's like browsing a stanfdard web page

    Well, if the store you ip and the fingerprint, then of course they could you trace back.
    If your provider is handing out the information ,that this ip was used by you at the specific time.

    But i have no idea, if they're saving connection data.
    All i can tell, is that my program is not sending anything personal related.

    Since I played around with all the settings as per the previous posts and despite putting everything back to how it was, as far as I can tell, now when my HTPC wakes up to make a recording it no longer does so in away mode. I will probably do a restore from a backup in the hope that that will resolve the issue.:mad:
