GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 167028
songs displaying multiple times, and some songs not displaying
Last modified: 2005-10-06 12:08:56 UTC
Distribution/Version: Ubuntu hoary I recently ripped an album to ogg, using grip. After playing the songs in xmms to ensure that the tags and quality were acceptable, I moved them into the tree where I keep my music (four levels deep, as semantically depended on my organisational method). In rhythmbox, I imported that directory (again, since this is the directory where I keep everything), and when it stopped scanning the path, went to the artist's name (as specified by the ID tags) in the artist navigation box, and found tracks 1 & 5 missing, and duplicates of the remaining 8 tracks. As far as I can tell: - there are no symlinks anywhere - there's exactly one copy of each track, including the first and the fifth - all tracks are consistently tagged, according to all other software I've checked with - tracks 1 and 5 are both in the database (twice, I might add), but only the filenames show up--the tags aren't appearing to be read.
Can you reproduce it everytime when importing those songs? Does rhythmbox -d give more information about what's going on ?
The songs were being reproduced in the database because they were included in a playlist in the same subdirectory. Might I turn this into a feature request, that it be optional to have playlists load as playlists instead of adding instances of the files they refer to to the database? I forget why the others' tags weren't showing up; I might check later (when I have access to that system again) and add a comment.
The duplicates are due to bug 158211. In Rhythmbox 0.9 the playlists should be loaded correctly as playlists, however the tracks are added to the library too - as Rhythmbox must have all it's tracks in the library. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 158211 ***
