GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 498472
Entered album description lost
Last modified: 2007-11-20 14:51:36 UTC
When I first inserted CD, Sound Juicer popped up. As there is no information about this CD in CDDB, I entered all description about CD and grabbed it. However I'd expect this information would be stored somewhere! At least locally or in best case submitted to CDDB.
First, SJ doesn't use CDDB but Musicbrainz. Submission to musicbrainz is somewhat tricky, but its on the TODO list. However because the general use-case of SJ involves putting in the CD once, it isn't a high priority. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 452047 ***
What is wrong on playing CD multiple times? And I really do not insist on submission to Musicbrainz, local cache would do the job for me.
Why would you rip a CD multiple times? SJ is not a CD player, it's a ripper which can play. If you build SJ from source you can enable a local cache. Some problems with it include it never updating if someone updates musicbrainz, and something else I can't remember which meant I disabled it.
But it is set in GNOME as default CD player. At least the settings say automatically play CDs after inserting (translated from Czech), not automatically grab CDs. I know dozens of way how to play CD, but I when I have enabled automatic playing of CDs in GNOME with default settings, I expect it to work with at least some comfort. Are the cache issues described somewhere? Anyway from quickly looking at code it does not look like it would save my entered data...
Your *distro* set it as the default CD player. GNOME ships gnome-cd as the default. Honestly I can't recall the issues with the cache, but if you want to enable it and stress it I'd love the testing and hopefully patches.
Okay, let's blame Debian on this issue :-). I will try to find time to look at the cache, but I can't promise anything... Anyway thanks for information.
