GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 335071
Musicbrainz is not as good as cddb
Last modified: 2006-03-19 13:25:32 UTC
Please describe the problem: Musicbrainz is now used for CDDB data lookup. Since then, almost none of my (around 500) classical CD's is recognised by sound-juicer. Banshee still uses cddb (I think), since it can still fetch the information from CDDB/freedb (see screenshot). Since almost *all* my (new) CD's are classical, this renders sound-juicer almost useless to me. Why not provide the option to use CDDB/freedb or a fall-back if the disc metadata is not found on musicbrainz? Steps to reproduce: 1. 2. 3. Actual results: Expected results: Does this happen every time? Other information:

MusicBrainz has *always* been used in Sound Juicer. This is interesting as generally MusicBrainz will automatically proxy to FreeDB if it can't match a CD. I've a hunch... if I provide a patch can you rebuild SJ?
Ok, I'll try it. You can send it directly, or attach it here. Thx.
Created attachment 61537 [details] [review] Possible patch Try this. Fingers crossed!
This works perfectly, thx! I have checked that the data comes from MusicBrainz using ethereal, and not from cdtext or a local cache or something. As this is a bugfix, I assume this patch will make it to dapper repo?
I'd expect so, I'll release 2.14.1 shortly. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 334823 ***
