I did an update to beets to version 2.0 and now I get the error message that the AcousticBrainz plugin is deprecated. Did not have this error yesterday when running beets on 1.6 version.

Question is: can someone help me with a base\_url for an AcousticBrainz server ?

Thanks in advance

I’m not aware of one. I made the change to mark the plugin as deprecated since the AcousticBrainz project is shutting down and stopped accepting new submissions and a quick search didn’t find alternative servers. You’d probably have better luck asking on the MusicBrainz Discouse server.
