[Banshee-List] Mime types of ripped CDs

[Todd Wilson <twilson csufresno edu>]

I'm using Banshee 1.4.1 on Ubuntu 8.04 (actually Ubuntu Studio).  While
ripping my CD collection, I've come across a couple of problems that I
would like to ask about.  I asked about the first in a previous post.

When ripping a CD into FLACs, I notice that Banshee doesn't fill the
Mime Type field.  After searching the list archives, I found a
workaround, i.e., manually insert them into the database using sqlite3:

    sqlite3 ~/.config/banshee-1/banshee.db "update coretracks set
mimetype='taglib/flac' where uri like '%.flac'"

I'm just repeating this solution here to make it more prominent should
others be searching for the same issue, and to check to see if there are
plans to fix it in the next release.

By the way, when is the new release planned?  And when is the Banshee
Wiki going to be back up again?

Thanks for a great piece of software!
