Bug Description

Ubuntu 11.10 - Rhythmbox 2.96-0ubuntu1~11.10~ricotz0

Whenever I insert the first disc of a multiple-CD album, Rhythmbox properly finds the tags for it (eg. Nine Inch Nails' will show Ghosts I-IV - 1 Ghosts I - 18 Ghosts II). I expect that the second CD would show its own tracklist (19 Ghosts III - 36 Ghosts IV). However, when I insert the second CD to rip it, the track listing is exactly the same as the first which means I have to tag it entirely myself. This behaviour should be fixed.

Steps to replicate:
1. Insert first CD of a two CD album.
2. Open Rhythmbox and check the track listing.
3. Replace first CD with second CD.
4. Again open Rhythmbox and check the track listing.

If the second disc has more tracks than the first disc, the extra tracks are tagged correctly, e.g. Disc 1 has 6 tracks and Disc 2 has 8 tracks. Disc 2's first 6 tracks are tagged incorrectly with Disc 1's track titles and Disc 2's tracks 7 & 8 are tagged correctly with Disk 2's track titles/

I also experience the problem described by ricotz0; it appears, however, that, when the second disc has more tracks than does the first, the correct track list is not produced. Instead, the list is the same as the first disc's but extends to the beginning of the second disc when it runs out of the first disc's tracks. Since my first disc had 8 tracks and the second 9, the last track on the second disc was shown to be what should have been the first track on that disc. I'm trying to create images for the two discs in Dan Fogelberg's "The Innocent Age." The last track of the second disc should be "Ghosts" but is listed as "Stolen Moments." Also, the play times appear to be copied from MusicBrainz instead of being generated by rhythmbox (a surprise to me). The barcode for "The Innocent Age" is 07464373932. Rhythmbox is 2.96. PICARD's list contains the tracks on both disks. Track numbers are distinguished by either a 1-track# or 2-track#. I tried specifying "2" in the "disc:" box (rhythmbox's menu) before pressing reload, but the same list was returned.

I am also experiencing this. In addition, I determined that it does not matter whether the first disc has previously been inserted. The incorrect track listing is shown even if the second disc is inserted first.

I have the same problem where the second disc uses the first songs from side one and the start of side two. Checked Music Brainz and it is tagged correctly there. Ryhtm Box is not seeing it as Disc 2. The Allman Brothers Band, The Road Goes on Forever. Both Disc ID's match the two disc ID's on MB.

It would be very useful if any of the affected users could test it in Ubuntu 14.04 that ships Rhythmbox 3.0.2
