[ubuntu-mono] [Bug 760565] Re: Banshee omits music files when importing

[Ben L-B]

I have this problem too on 11.04 and 11.10 (Banshee 2.0 and 2.2) . My
Library got pretty screwed up before I noticed. I'm now going through my
20000 songs manually restoring albums from backup one by one.

Title:
  Banshee omits music files when importing

Status in Banshee Music Player:
  Confirmed
Status in “banshee” package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: banshee

  I am experiencing an absolute killer with Banshee that refrains me
  from using it. Importing does not work properly on my computer.

  Steps to reproduce:
  * Enable "Copy files to media folder when importing" and "Write metadata to files" in preferences
  * Take a few folders of music files
  * Import them

  What should happen:
  * All files should nicely show in Banshee's browser

  What happens instead:
  * As a matter of fact, not all files are imported. Some are just omitted
  * For example, of a 20 song album, only songs 1-5, 7-14, and 18-20 would be imported. I checked the folder on my hard drive where it copies the files to, and they also don't show up in there
  * Furthermore, some songs appear twice in the library. They are NOT copied twice into the folder, however
  * This bug is perfectly reproducable

  Requesting critical importance for this one, as this might destroy an
  unconscious user's entire music library. I am quite happy I discovered
  Banshee did that BEFORE I wanted to delete my old music library.

  Annex:
  As an example, I tried to import Papa Roach's discography. It did not work, so I tried to delete all files from within Banshee again and try to reimport the files. The behavior was even stranger. Now it would not import any at all. See the video attached.
