Description pits 2008-11-16 21:22:43 UTC 
Some albums are not imported into music library. If I import manually (media - import media) they appear with "unknown artist" and "unknown album".
All id3-tags exists if I watch these files with EasyTag, ex falso or cowbell.

I have no idea what the difference between these files and the working ones (which are a few thousands) is...

This is the error-message on the console:

[Warn  22:07:38.440] Caught an exception - Object reference not set to an instance of an object (in `Banshee.Core')

Can you run banshee with --debug (banshee-1 --debug or banshee --debug) and try importing again?  That will get us a trace with line numbers.  Thanks!
Comment 2 pits 2008-11-17 18:39:41 UTC 
I'm sorry, there is no error on the console if I only import this specific album, it simply gets imported.

You can download an example at <a href="http://pits.fust-buetschwil.ch/once.mp3">http://pits.fust-buetschwil.ch/once.mp3</a> if you want to try the import for yourself...
Comment 3 pits 2008-11-18 19:13:16 UTC 
The problem seems to be the handling of id3 v2.4 - files. 
If I save all my music with id3 v2.3 there is no problem with importing...

Banshee is not under active development anymore and had its last code changes more than three years ago. Its codebase has been archived.

Closing this report as WONTFIX as part of Bugzilla Housekeeping to reflect
reality. Please feel free to reopen this ticket (or rather transfer the project
to GNOME Gitlab, as GNOME Bugzilla is being shut down) if anyone takes the
responsibility for active development again.
See https://gitlab.gnome.org/Infrastructure/Infrastructure/issues/264 for more info.
