Re: [Rhythmbox-devel] Automatic IDv3 Tags?



Ubuntu 8.04, assuming it's a relatively default install, should have
all the soundjuicer and required libraries.  Maybe check to make sure
that the mp3 codecs (ubuntu-restricted-extras) are installed, assuming
your client is ripping to mp3?  Also, if a cd is so rare (maybe
non-english have problems as well, I'm not sure) that Amazon doesn't
have the info, then it won' t be tagged.

Album art is also fetched from Amazon.  If the tags are correct, the
album art should also be.  Unfortunately, there isn't currently a
simple way to replace the automatically retrieved artwork.  You can do
it manually by replacing the files in ~/.gnome2/rhythmbox/covers/
(they are named according to Artist - Album.jpg), but this is
obviously a bit of a pain.  Perhaps a plugin to automatically do this
is in order...
