Bug Description

Binary package hint: sound-juicer

If the track name is too long (what constitutes "too long" is uncertain), sound-juicer will not rip it, silently skipping the track.

If a terminal is open, the following warning appears:

** (sound-juicer:4191): WARNING **: Cannot get file info: Error stating file '/home/matt/Downloads/Genesis - The Way We Walk, Volume 2: The Longs/1 - Old Medley: Dance on a Volcano - The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway - The Musical Box - Firth of Fifth - I Know What I Like (In Your Wardrobe).ogg': File name too long

A valid workaround seems to be to edit the track name before selecting "Extract". This is particularly troublesome, though, since it's not obvious that the track has failed to rip until you find it missing from your music library later.
