Bug Description

When I insert a CD, Rhythmbox typically tells me that it matches multiple albums, usually with identical names. Whichever album I pick, it shows correct-looking title, artist, and album names on the "Devices" page for the CD. However, if I go to the "Recently Added" page after the import completes, most -- and often all -- of the tracks show unknown artist and album name, and the track name is of the form "01 - Track Name.flac".

The most frequent case is that all tracks lose this information. Sometimes one, and rarely two, end up with the correct metadata.
