Summary0019145: Musicbrainz error is displayed when internet access is disabled
DescriptionI have disabled Internet access to the program in Windows Firewall and I believe there are many users that are using the program without Internet access.

EDIT (by Ludek):
Possible solutions:
1) Add 'None' options to Options > Metadata Lookup > Audio CD metadata lookup > Database: [....] dropdown
Pros: No new string needed to translate/localize
Cons: Not so intuitive

2) MM4 had option '[x] Query freedb automatically (when connected)' which could be evaluated to re-add. MM5 does the lookup automatically and can't be disabled
Pros: More intuitive than 1)
Cons: New string/translation needed

3) Supress any error message when internet access id disabled or MM5 is blocked by firewall.
Pros: No new string needed to translate/localize
Cons: User wouldn't be aware about the problem (why the lookup has failed).

Probably solution 2) with needed string modification is preferred solution?
TagsNo tags attached.
Fixed in build
