Bug description:
  Binary package hint: banshee

  Recently when I imported CDs, Banshee could not retrieve album
  metainformation.  I don't know the reason for that, but this bug is
  about a problematic consequence rather than this specific problem.
  (Even if Banshee was bug-free, you would end up with unidentified
  albums e.g. if you do an import when you are not connected to the
  Internet.)

  When the metainformation is not available, the album gets saved (by
  default) into Unknown Artist/Unknown Album/01 Track 1.ogg etc.

  Now if I import another album and its metainformation cannot be
  retrieved either, the existing files will be overwritten without
  warning.

  What's worse, if I noticed and added the track information etc for the
  first imported album by hand, the database entries will now point to
  entirely the wrong songs.

  The solution to this would appear to be simple: import unknown albums
  to unique temporary names.

  Of course, down the road, it would be nice if "Edit Track Information"
  would also update the file names of the underlying files on disk.
