Description Petr Splichal 2009-04-30 07:05:33 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.
Comment 3 ville.ranki 2011-01-20 12:31:40 UTC
Confirm this on Ubuntu 10.10
Comment 4 Andre Samosir 2011-03-16 02:02:34 UTC
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.
