Description Sebastien Bacher 2004-11-15 09:47:26 UTC
This bug has been reported here: https://bugzilla.ubuntu.com/3704

"Running rhythmbox -d, import a directory with nothing but wav files:
[0x10219930] [rb_metadata_load] rb-metadata-gst.c:560 (16:16:33): ignoring file
file:///home/khc/Music/wav/What%20a%20Wonderful%20World%20(Single).wav with
detected type audio/x-wav
[0x10219930] [rhythmdb_add_song] rhythmdb.c:945 (16:16:33): unsupported file"
Comment 1 Bill Wraith 2004-12-06 16:25:07 UTC
Same problem, same messages using rhythmbox -d when trying to import from 
director containing wav files. Using recently installed and updated FC3 
versions of rhythmbox-0.8.8.1, gstreamer-0.8.7-3, gstreamer-plugins-0.8.5-1. I 
was able to play wav files with gstreamer itself, according to suggested test 
in README. Ogg files work as expected.
Comment 2 Christophe Fergeau 2004-12-06 22:34:18 UTC
Is it possible to get useful metadata from wav files? Or wouldn't you mind
having files with Unkown artists and albums in your library?
Comment 3 Sebastien Bacher 2004-12-06 23:12:10 UTC
for my part I don't mind getting unknown fields, if you just use the filename
for the title that should be fine

Actually I don't know why not simly fix this bug. That should be very simple, as
you can see. Of course, there are problems with metadata, but that is generic
problem of rhythmbox, not the problem of wav format. Good music player should
work with any file no matter have it metadata or not.
