GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 523073
Rhythmbox lacks an argument to launch it with "audio CD" selected instead of "Library" in "Source" panel

With Ubuntu hardy alpha 6, when inserting and audio CD, Rhythmbox is launched, but without the GUI that shows the "Extract" button. Let me explain. Actually : - Rhythmbox has a contextual toolbar, which means that the "Extract" button is only displayed when you select the CD name in the "Source" panel. - But Rhythmbox is always launched with "Library" selected in the "Source" panel (even when an audio CD is inserted) - Therefore, when an audio CD is inserted, Ubuntu launches Rhythmbox with "Library" selected in the "Source" panel, and no "Extract" button visible by the user : the user doesn't know how to rip his audio CD. My suggestion is that, when an audio CD is inserted, Rhythmbox should be launched with current audio CD selected in the "Source" panel, to make the contextual toolbar in Rhythmbox matching the task the user expects. I guess Rhythmbox may lack the argument that would allow to launch it with "audio CD" selected in "Source" panel ( from https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-devel-discuss/2008-March/003621.html ) Other information:
That's already been fixed a while ago, it should select the audio CD source when nautilus launches rhythmbox.
