From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.3) Gecko/20041027 Epiphany/1.4.4 Description of problem: When testing sound-juicer against various cds I found that with some cds it will return and empty tracklisting dialog, my test cd for this is Moby's 18 which appears in Musicbrainz - now not only does sound-juicer not find the track names (like in #135538) it omits the track listing, and other cd information completely as if there was no CD inserted. So the user can't even enter the data As a sidenote grip finds the test CD fine, as well as the cd data. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): sound-juicer-0.5.14-2 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Insert test cd Actual Results: get no information posted what so ever. Expected Results: correctly detected CD and fetched tracklisting Additional info:
This bug returned recently, my test CD here is Jimi Hendrix - The Ultimate Experience. It shows up correctly looked up Rhythmbox but in Sound-juicer it comes up as unknown. The CD is known by Musicbrainz as are all the cases I've hit so far.
The important thing is not just the CD being known by Musicbrainz, but also the particular DiscID. From: http://musicbrainz.org/cd_submission.html "However, there is a downside to this as well. Audio CD-ROMs are usually produced in large batches, that may include thousands if not millions of copies of one CD. Once a record company is done selling that one batch, or a record company in another country wants to print up a batch of the same CD, they will make another batch. There are over 10 different pressings for the album 'The Dark Side of the Moon' by Pink Floyd, for instance. If the CDs from the new batch are off by one sector (as mentioned above) they will have a different unique Disc ID. ä¸ç¥ Let's say you use one of the CD Submission tools to submit a CD and you find that MusicBrainz doesn't know about the CD. You then proceed to select the artist and then MusicBrainz shows you a list of CDs and your CD is right there is in the list. What's wrong? There may be a few things going on: * MusicBrainz may not have any Disc IDs for this album. * MusicBrainz may have a different Disc ID than you have, thus MusicBrainz already knows about a different pressing of the CD. In either case, you should select the matching CD and let MusicBrainz create another association for you. This means that MusicBrainz will now know about the new Disc ID that you just reported. The next time you want to look up this CD, MusicBrainz will gladly deliver the data to you."
And Rhythmbox uses FreeDB, not Musicbrainz, so some discs will be known by it but not sound-juicer. (Musicbrainz has higher consistency and quality in the CDs it has, but it doesn't have as many albums and its DiscIDs are more precise and must be entered for different pressings.)
Please use sound-juicer's "Submit Track Data" to add the DiscID to the database. This is not a bug, just the particular DiscID from a different pressing (that writes tracks to slightly different sectors) does not exist in the database. I've tried it with many different CDs and it works fine if the DiscID is already added. If not, it's easy and very fast with the newer sound-juicer to submit an additional DiscID for a CD.
Like bug 135538, this should be closed. sound-juicer-2.14.1 fixes the fallback to FreeDB if MusicBrainz doesn't have the CD information. rhythmbox had this all along, which is why you saw different results from rhythmbox and sound-juicer. sound-juicer-2.14.1 is in updates-testing now.
Duplicate caused by sound-juicer prior to 2.14.1 not correctly falling back to FreeDB if a CD DiscID is not in MusicBrainz. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 135538 ***
