[QUOTE="antidot, post: 1302727, member: 172217"] Sorry man, I have no idea what you're talking about. Gracenote can change their IP address every half hour, your DNS server will always provide you with the current one. Fixed IP through the hosts file was necessary because zap2it.com stopped existing. And, zap2it.com was hard coded into the zap2xml.exe program. There wasn't a way to redirect zap2it.com to gracenote.com, other than modifying the hosts file. Now, that a new file has been created (by me), the newzap2xml.exe points to gracenote.com, and your DNS server will do the address translation. Keep in mind this a windows executable for a windows environment. If you want to use the zap2xml.pl file, you'll need a perl environment to execute it. I've only ported the zap2xml.pl file into a windows executable, so you don't need a 1GB Perl environment to execute one file. You have a different problem than the IP address, my friend. As both my new executable and the .pl version of it work flawlessly. ALSO, when trying to extract the .exe file from the .zip file, my computer's A/V gave me a false positive. No idea why. Maybe the perl compiler has a code that triggers something. The file is 100% clean, and only goes to gracenote.com, as it is based on the .pl file. I think compilers "throw" in all the necessary libraries, perl environment or whatever to make the .exe file work on its own. Me thinks....I'm not a programmer. [/QUOTE]
