GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 535904
doesn't display CD covers on hard disk
Last modified: 2008-06-03 21:15:19 UTC
Please describe the problem: I asked in the IRC channel, and Gabriel Burt answered that this issue was already known and would be fixed. However, today I upgraded to Banshee 1.0 RC1 (packages from the Ubuntu PPA), and I observed that the problem is still present. I was worried, because a release candidate is AFAIK supposed to be the stable release if no further bugs are found. Following that reasoning, I thought this issue might have been forgotten, because a release candidate wouldn't have been released if this issue hadn't been fixed yet. If my reasoning is wrong, I apologize for nothering the developers with a bug they already intend to fix. I've attached two screenshots of the issue, one demonstrating that it is still working in Banshee 0.13.2 and that it is no longer working in Banshee 1.0 RC1. All the music in my library is downloaded from Jamendo. The albums on Jamendo have CD covers included in JPEG format. In order to get Banshee to display them I had to rename the files to "cover.jpg" so Banshee would detect them. I imported the same directory with all my music in Banshee 0.13.2 and 1.0 RC1, and only 0.13.2 displays the covers. Steps to reproduce: 1. Download an album from Jamendo. 2. Import in Banshee and play. 3. Observe no CD cover being displayed. Actual results: Expected results: Does this happen every time? Other information: For some reason, out of the 60 albums from Jamendo I have in my collection, Banshee 1.0 RC1 does display a CD cover for one specific album.

I forgot to mention that when you start playing a track in Banshee 1.0 RC1, you can see that Banshee is trying to "Downloading Cover Art" when it displays a progress bar in the lower left corner of the window. This results in nothing (probably because albums on Jamendo aren't produced by well known musicians). But this seems to imply that Banshee 1.0 RC1 isn't looking for CD covers inside the album directories on my local hard drive at all?
This is also somewhat related to bug # 535024, but not exactly.
