Problems handling genre when ripping

[John Florian]

When configuring the external audio encoder lame, the dialog of hints for %t=tittle, %a=artist, etc. fails to mention that %g=genre, yet I tested it on a hunch and it just worked. For this reason, it seems that the hints dialog should be updated to include this and the default command-line (for lame) should also include '--tg %g' to take advantage of this.

I also noticed that if you rip one CD with the genre set 'blues' for example and then rip a second CD with the genre set to '' (empty/blank), the resulting mp3 files for the second CD will have their genre set to the last non-blank value (blues in this example).

When importing any CD's (I've tried Rhythmbox, Sound ripper, Banshee) the genre is not recognized, does this fix that? If so, could you explain a bit more, as I do not understand the first part?

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. You reported this bug a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering if this is still an issue for you. Can you try with the latest Ubuntu release? Thanks in advance.
