Default application for audio CD shouldn't be sound-juicer

[Pierre C]

with dapper flight 6
steps to reproduce:
- insert audio CD.
- double-click on the CD icon.
Actual result: sound-juicer is launched
Expected result: audio player launched, like rhythmbox

I had a poor experience trying to listen to an audio CD. Sound juicer is just incapable of playing the selected song, but only the first track (but that's another bug) and I couln't change the way the CD icon is opened.

Now that rhythmbox handles the CD drive, that'd be a pity not to use it.

Thanks for your bug report. What does it do if you tell it to play a certain song? If it doesn't give you a straight error message, could you add a debug log by launching

sound-juicer --gst-debug-level=5

from the command-line?

Let's use one bug by issue. I'm rejecting that bug, we discussed that on IRC some hours before you send your mail. Different reason to that:
- rhythmbox has no command line option to start on the CD
- rhythmbox UI is not intuitive for CD playing for users according to desktop team opinion
- you can changing the app to start to system, preferences, disks and removable media

Feel free to other an other bug about sound-juicer issue with the details Daniel asked for (maybe no need of having a sound-juicer top verbose log to start though)

Out of the three reasons, only the first one is valid.
> - rhythmbox has no command line option to start on the CD
that's a rhythmbox bug.
> - rhythmbox UI is not intuitive for CD playing for users according to desktop team opinion
MacOSX does just that. Inserting a CD opens iTunes and is available in the sidebar, exactly like Rhythmbox.
> - you can changing the app to start to system, preferences, disks and removable media
That's too hidden for ubuntu target who just want to be able to have an insert and play solution in ubuntu.

Still even with an eventually non-broken sound-juicer, the user experience is poor. double clicking on a track edit the track title instead of playing it. Why not putting back the simple gnome music player?

I'll open another bug report concerning the impossibility to play the selected track in sound-juicer in another bug, with the debug log.

Do you have an issue with running "sound-juicer --play"? It would start playing the CD directly and the UI is near enough of a standard CD player one
