GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 580841
sound juicer fails to extract cd when artist is empty
Last modified: 2021-05-17 16:03:00 UTC
Please describe the problem: When trying to extract a CD without supplying the Artist name the following error is displayed: Sound Juicer could not extract this CD. Reason: Failed to create output directory: Error creating directory: Permission denied This message is quite confusing, as there is no problem with permissions, just the missing Artist. Solution for this issue could be to provide an "Uknown Artist" default value, or just omit the Artist from the relative path to be used for the extraction. Similarly when neither a Title or an Artist are specified, another irrelevant message is displayed: Sound Juicer could not extract this CD. Reason: Could not open resource for reading. Sound Juicer could not extract this CD. Reason: Error starting ripping pipeline sound-juicer version: 2.26.1-0ubuntu1 Steps to reproduce: 1. Preferences -> Folder hiearchy -> Artist, Title 2. Insert an audio CD 3. Blank the Artist text box (or Title as well) 4. Hit the [Extract] button Actual results: Expected results: Does this happen every time? Yes.

I can confirm this with Fedora 12, sound-juicer-2.28.1-2.fc12.i686 I got the scarier/vaguer message from having both be blank. I thought it very odd that it could play the tracks, yet claimed it could not rip them. I didn't want artist or album tags set, so I blanked both fields.
I can confirm this bug with Ubuntu Lucid 10.04 and sound-juicer 2.28.1. If artist field is empty sound-juicer fails to extract Cd's tracks, and when artist field is full sound juicer extracts well.
Confirm this on Ubuntu 10.10
Confirmed it on Linux Mint Julia. I just set my Folder Hierarchy (in Preferences) to Album Title only, not choosing anything with Artist entry within it.
