sound-juicer tags mp3 files with incorrect musicbrainz ids

[DSHR]

Binary package hint: sound-juicer

Sound-juicer seems to tag mp3 files with musicbrainz tags incompatible with banshee and picard. I think this did not happen on intrepid. Looking at a file ripped with sound-juicer and the same track ripped with banshee the difference is obvious:

The URL-Version leads to picard being unable to load the album information.

Yes, that's seriously wrong. Sound Juicer did this correctly in Intrepid. I just had a quick look myself, but couldn't find the cause for this behaviour.

[Phil Housley (undeconstructed)]

This problem happens with vorbis files as well, so I assume it is general within soundjuicer.

[DSHR (s-heuer)]

Seems to be fixed with sound-juicer 2.28.0 (karmic beta).

[Philipp Wolfer (phw)]

I haven't tested this version, but given the source it does not look like it was fixed.

as reported by eyeD3 - looks OK for me ....

[Philipp Wolfer (phw)]

I've found the "fix". The package in Karmic uses the deprecated libmusicbrainz version 2 instead of 3 (the package of libmusicbrainz 2 is called libmusicbrainz4 in Ubuntu).

Jaunty switched from version 2 to 3, which introduced this bug. Now Karmic switched back, which "solves" this bug again. I've opened another bug report #455461, which explains why this is even worse than before.

[Jeff Ebert (jeffrey-ebertland)]

I used Sound Juicer on Jaunty to rip the majority of my CDs, and then Picard to do some tag clean-up, so this bug got me. I wrote a small utility to fix the MusicBrainz tags (attached).

Note that you must have python and python-mutagen installed, and I only tested this code with python2.6.
