I have done the standard updates in my system, but I do not remember that I would have updated anything about Sound Juicer. I tested with CD's that I can find in MusicBrainz. All of them failed. If I try to enter data to Musicbrainz, it suggests directly right CD, but I do not get any feedback to Sound Juicer. File is created with tcpdump -vv [ Show » ] Jipi I.

[ Permalink | « Hide ] Chris Metzler added a comment - 26/May/11 10:43 PM Dunno if this is helpful or not, but . . .the last time I absolutely know for certain that MusicBrainz queries from sound-juicer and/or rhythmbox worked perfectly was May 15th. Queries from both failed for me yesterday (and since). I have not done any software upgrades on this machine of any kind at all since May 1st, well before the last successful query. That fact, plus the fact that most (all?) users are also running into these problems, strongly suggests to me that it's a server-side issue and not an application-side one.

Yes, the RDF service has been deprecated for years now, and we have now finally removed it entirely. I see SoundJuicer does use the old RDF MB, but also looks like it uses libmusicbrainz3, which iirc uses /ws/1 [ Show » ] Oliver Charles added a comment - 27/May/11 02:16 PM Thanks for that Chris.

For that matter, the same is true for banshee and rhythmbox -- older versions use libmusicbrainz4, which did RDF queries. My machine is still running Ubuntu Karmic, which passed out of support just last week. So maybe the reason why some banshee/rhythmbox/sound-juicer users are complaining, but not a flood of them, is because it's just hitting the ones using older versions of those packages?

[ Permalink | « Hide ] Oliver Charles added a comment - 27/May/11 03:26 PM This is a packaging problem. I have spoken with the contributor who added libmusicbrainz3 support to both Rhythmbox and Sound Juicer, and he can confirm they both work if built with the correct bindings. It's a packaging problem by the sound of things, so the Ubuntu/etc team need to rebuild packages.
