GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 132363
Sound juicer files are not imported
Last modified: 2008-05-04 09:57:05 UTC
When I do Music|Import audio CD, the resulting files are not automatically added to the library as they should be. I have to manually find the folder where they were put and import it into the library. Is there any way of doing this without modifying sound-juicer?

I do not know much about the implementation of DBUS, but could Sound-Juicer emit a signal on dbus to notify that new audio content has been created, and then Rhythmbox could listen for such notifications?

Rhythmbox now supports to monitor folders and add all music files detected in its library. If sound-juicer is configured to create the music files in the appropriate folder, the songs will be added. Perhaps this bug could be set as FIXED.
I agree, Rhythmbox can monitor what SoundJuicer imports (if you want it to), so marking as FIXED.
I don't agree. If you configure sound-juicer to put the imported tracks in a non-monitored folder, they should be imported in Rhythmbox anyway because, from Rhythmbox, the menu entry says "import Audio CD". So, when you press "import Audio CD", you should have the new tracks imported in Rhythmbox in any cases. The opposite would be very confusing IMO.
Ubuntu bug about that: https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+source/rhythmbox/+bug/47269 "Importing a CD into Rhythmbox appears not to work (doesn't add tracks to library) 1. With a music CD in the CD drive, start Rhythmbox. 2. From the "Music" menu, choose "Import Audio CD...". 3. In the "Sound Juicer" window, click "Extract". 4. Once the extraction has finished, click "Eject". 5. Close the now-empty window, and look at your Rhythmbox library. What you should see: * The tracks of the CD you've just imported, in your Rhythmbox library. What you actually see: * No new tracks. If you happen to have the correct part of your desktop visible, you might see that an extra folder has been added to your desktop, but what are the odds of that?" Reopening since I think Julien has a point about that
I was surprised to find out (from reading this bug report) that I could have rhythmbox monitor my music folder. Nice! This could have been simpler if a couple things were done differently (well, other than obvious things like me reading the docs or looking at the preferences dialog :-) * The first time I imported a folder of music, rhythmbox could have said: "You haven't configured your music folder. Make this folder your default music folder?" * Watching the music folder should be enabled by default. * When I imported an audio CD I was surprised that the results ended up in $HOME. Of course, this was partly because I didn't realize I hadn't set my music folder... but in any case, rhythmbox and sound juicer ought to share this setting more easily.
Today I ripped a CD and saw that rhythmbox did not automatically update. In ~/.xsession-errors I see an error message from inotify, about the watch limit being hit ... I suspect beagled is using all the available watches. In any case, it would be friendly if rhythmbox could tell me that the feature is being disabled. I realize the error message will have to be something pretty dumb, like "you hit an internal system limit" -- but I think that is still preferably to this just silently not working.
Rhythmbox does CD importing for itself now.
