Library contains duplicates of songs imported from CD

[Josh Holland]

Binary package hint: banshee

When a CD is imported using the "Import CD" from the CD source within Banshee, each song appears in the library twice after being imported.

This affects me too. Perhaps of importance is that I've changed the encoding preferences. I'm importing as a high quality variable bit rate mp3, but another low bit rate (also variable) appears during import. To clarify: Two versions are imported, one high quality, one low quality. I believe this is where the origin of the "Duplicate" import originates.

Please can you try to reproduce this issue using Banshee 1.8.0 and check if this behaviour is still occurring? Thanks in advance.

I can confirm this bug for Banshee 1.8.0-2ubuntu1~maverick1. I rip my CDs as FLAC. The tracks are reported twice in the library but are only ripped to disk once. This occurs even after the CD is removed - at first I thought it was just seeing the ripped track and the track on the CD separately. Could it be that Banshee doesn't remove tracks from CDs from the library when the CD is unmounted?

This should be fixed in Banshee git, however there may be issues with the library watcher. Please retest using the Banshee daily ppa, with and without the library watcher enabled and report back.

Upstream tracker say that this issue is a duplicate of bug https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=623441

Hi,

I am sorry to say this but I still get duplicates when importing from CD. I am using the latest Banshee version (2.0) updated today from PPA but no change at all concerning the behaviour of the software.

Hi, I'm getting the same bug as well. Additionally it's produced duplicate tracks when I rescan my collection but not with all of them. Mostly seems to be flac and mp3 tacks, though I'm not sure because of the size of my collection.

I reckon the bug you're facing is actually a different bug, though with the same
symptoms. Try disabling the Library Watcher extension and see if the issue still
appears.

Ok, seems this solves the issued.

Is there any plan for a bug fix, concerning the problem with the Library Watcher?

Using Banshee 2.2.1 I still get duplicates every time when importing cd's as mp3.
If I uncheck the button (from preferences) to follow the changes to the library, I don't get duplicates.

I also have a duplicate remover installed and activated, but it doesn't work in this case.
