The packages has been uploaded to lucid-proposed, I'm sure it soon will be in the normal repo.

Regarding the multiple disc release issue there is unfortunately no quick solution. For this to work properly Soundjuicer must be ported to the upcoming libmusicbrainz4, which is using the new v2 XML Web Service. libmusicbrainz4 is currently in beta, but I don't know if anybody is working on adding support for it to Soundjuicer.

Just to clarify things a little bit, because the version numbers are confusing in this case:

libmusicbrainz2: This used the old RDF based web service, which was depracated quite a while ago and completely removed from MusicBrainz with the NGS update. The package in Ubuntu was called libmusicbrainz4 (don't know why).

libmusicbrainz3: This version used the XML web service version 1. This version was deprecated in May with the release of NGS. The web service is still available, but some changes to MusicBrainz where incompatible in such a way that the service behavior had to change slightly (e.g. the multi disc releases are returned as if all tracks are on a single disc). The Ubuntu package is called libmusicbrainz3.

libmusicbrainz4: This version uses the new XML web service version 2. This is now the recommended way to access MusicBrainz. Software using the old v1 service must be ported to the new version. The library is currently in beta and there is no Ubuntu package yet.
