Banshee overwrites imported tracks
Last modified: 2009-05-23 01:26:03 UTC
Please describe the problem: I have some tracks from a album where banshee plays totally other tracks. My theory how this happened is... Steps to reproduce: 1. Make sure "Update file and folder names" is disabled. 2. Import a cd where banshee is not able to lookup the metadata. 3. Enter all the metadata in banshee manually. 4. Import a second cd where banshee is again not able to lookup the metadata. 5. Try to play e.g. the first track of the former imported cd Actual results: The tracks of the second cd have overwritten the ones imported of the first cd. Expected results: The first imported tracks should remain present - obviously banshee is missing a filename integrity check. Does this happen every time? I'm not very eager to try this out again - but I fear so. Other information: When I issue: select * from CoreTracks where Uri like '%Unknown Artist/Unknown Album%' I can see that nowadays the Tracks have a filename 'Nr. Track Nr.ext' - whereas in former times (banshee 0.x) the filename was automatically changed when the metadata was changed (which makes totally sense) - and this problem was much more unlikely to happen (as long as you don't bulk import many cds without editing the metadata).
