first part of set titles is interpreted as composer/artist

[marsteegh]

Binary package hint: sound-juicer

This only happens when sound juicer gets track title/artist information from musicbrainz, not when you manually enter it.
When a track has a title +m artist like
title:Song1/Song2/Tune3 artist:Artist

which is quite common in folk cd's where one tracks consists of a set of multiple tunes/songs.

The first part of the title is interpreted as the artist, and overwrites the actual artist, so the above example becomes

title: Song2/Tune3 artist: Song1

Thanks for your bug report. This bug has been reported to the developers of the software. You can track it and make comments here: http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=501744

upstream closed the request and added this comment

"Well, this is pretty much impossible to fix.

FreeDB formatting says that for a various artist album, the track titles are
"Artist / Track". Now, you've got a subset of tracks where they are "Track /
Track / Track" which is coming from FreeDB (the splitting does happen for
Musicbrainz data) More people will hit the various artists problem than the
folk problem, so I'm sorry but I have to close this.

With SJ 2.22 you'll get a big banner when the data comes from FreeDB, letting
you submit the ID to musicbrainz. With any luck one click later and you'll be
able to rescan the disk and get correct data."

Doing the same to the distribution task there

pity it's not fixable, since it's a rather large annoyance. In my cd collection about 2 of every 3 cd's have errors this way.
Too bad freedb uses such a braindead field separating scheme, Why don't they quote/escape their strings ;-(

For every album which appears like this, pressing Disc -> Submit should
let you associate the CD ID with a track listing. Musicbrainz may have
it already with a different ID which means you just have to press
another button, or you can import from freedb and fix the titles once
and for all.

hmm, I have to try how this works.

I did submit titles to musicbrains, but found the process fairly
unintuitive, and I did't really see a way to choose where to import the
titles from, but I'll try.

I take it SJ first tries musicbrainz, and then freedb?

btw it is a pity that when you submit a disk, it doesn't send all yout
painstakingly typed titles to Musicbrainz, and you have to type them all
over again on the musicbrainz site.

But nothing's perfect I guess ;-)

Sort of: it queries musicbrainz, and musicbrainz will proxy the request
to freedb if it doesn't have any matches. This is where your bad data
comes from.

When you hit Submit you'll get a form asking for either album or artist
name, enter one of those and you might find the album you are after (the
only difference being a different CD ID). If that doesn't work, you'll
need to Import from FreeDB and fix the data.

This requires a fair amount of work, and isn't possible with the current
code. When various bits of SJ are rewritten, it might be possible, but
the web service has lots of magic which I'd have to reimplement so its
basically easier to just point the user at the web site.
