All three make sense to me.<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Sun, Mar 16, 2008 at 2:00 PM, thibaut bethune <<a href="mailto:thibaut.bethune@gmail.com">thibaut.bethune@gmail.com</a>> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">
I'd like to discuss the way Ubuntu deals with the "extracting audio CD" task<br>
<br>
- Ubuntu 7.10 and before : inserting an audio CD launchs Sound Juicer<br>
(according to the nome-volume-properties GUI)<br>
- Ubuntu 8.04 hardy alpha 6 : inserting an audio CD launchs Rhythmbox.<br>
<br>
I'm in favor of Rhythmbox for performing that task.<br>
<br>
BUT, the Ubuntu Hardu alpha 6 situation could be improved in 3 ways :<br>
<br>
1°) Sound Juicer should be removed from Hardy since Rhythmbox is the<br>
default system application to extract music from CD - no need for<br>
cluttering Applications menu.<br>
See Bug #202593 in sound-juicer (Ubuntu) on Launchpad<br>
<a href="https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/sound-juicer/+bug/202593" target="_blank">https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/sound-juicer/+bug/202593</a><br>
<br>
2°) When inserting and audio CD, Rhythmbox should be launched with the<br>
GUI that shows the "Extract" button.<br>
Let me explain. Actually :<br>
- Rhythmbox has a contextual toolbar, which means that the "Extract"<br>
button is only displayed when you select the CD name in the "Source"<br>
panel.<br>
- But Rhythmbox is always launched with "Library" selected in the<br>
"Source" panel (even when an audio CD is inserted)<br>
- Therefore, when an audio CD is inserted, Ubuntu launches Rhythmbox<br>
with "Library" selected in the "Source" panel, and no "Extract" button<br>
visible by the user : the user doesn't know how to rip his audio CD.<br>
My suggestion is that, when an audio CD is inserted, Rhythmbox should<br>
be launched with current audio CD selected in the "Source" panel, to<br>
make the contextual toolbar in Rhythmbox matching the task the user<br>
expects.<br>
<br>
3°) While ripping an audio CD, you can close Rhythmbox without be<br>
advertised that Rhythmbox is performing a task. User should be warned<br>
that closing Rhythmbox now will stop the current task.<br>
Maybe a confirmation dialog box could say : "You are about to close<br>
Rhythmbox while Rhythmbox is ripping a CD. Closing Rhythmbox will stop<br>
the current CD ripping"<br>
<br>
Thank you<br>
