Re: [Banshee-List] Picard finds data, but banshee doesnt....

[Michael Martin-Smucker <mlmartin13 gmail com>]

There were also a couple bugs in Banshee's latest stable release that are responsible for some of Banshee's "Could not fetch track information" errors.  MusicBrainz changed their API a bit, and it caused some issues.  While I think all of those problems have been fixed, there hasn't been a stable release since then.

almost every time, banshee says it cant retrieve information, but if i go
into picard it will show up every time. i dont understand the difference,
but then im a lot more of a luddite than i remember being.

Banshee uses a library called taglib-sharp to read metadata from tracks.

It's possible that this library doesn't support the kind of files you're trying to import to banshee, or that you're hitting a bug of the library.

It would be good to file a bug explaining the issue so the developers can figure out what is going on in your case:

We may ask you for a sample file to be sent by email. Just file the bug and wait for the feedback that you will receive by email.

Thanks
