You have been subscribed to a public bug: I am attempting to play Audio CDs with rhythmbox. When I insert a disc into the drive, it appears in Rhythmbox. Initially, the tracks are listed with the correct times, but no names or album information. I am able to play the CD at this point. No more than 5 seconds later, a MusicBrainz message appears stating that it "could not find this album on MusicBrainz." At this point, the Album name appears, but all of the tracks completely disappear from the CD Track Playlist, playback cuts out, and the CD is no longer playable. This issue occurs for more than one CD.
Rhythmbox is able to play back other audio files of various types (I have tried wav, mp3, m4a, flac, and ogg). The folder "~/.gvfs/cdda mount on sr0" exists and is accessible, containing the correct number of tracks, and displaying the correct times when accessing the right-click -> properties menu item for each track. The CD appears as an "Audio Disc" in "computer:///". When attempting to copy all tracks off the disc with nautilus, the file transfer freezes at a variable period of time into the operation (assuming a read error of some description). I have attempted to open the CD using VLC media player with success. VLC displays the correct CD Text for all tracks and can play all tracks on the CD. My system is also dual-boot with windows 7. I am able to open, play back, and rip the contents of the Audio CDs with Windows Media Player with no issues. On a side note, it did not appear as though media player attempted to read the CD text as none of the CD information (album name, song titles) appeared. I have tried: * apt-get purge and reinstall rhythmbox * apt-get purge and reinstall gvfs-backends I have just installed Ubuntu 10.10 a few days ago. I was previously using 9.04 with no issues. Some Information: ============== Ubuntu 10.10 AMD64 uname -a: Linux kuroi 2.6.35-24-generic #42-Ubuntu SMP Thu Dec 2 02:41:37 UTC 2010 x86_64 GNU/Linux Nautilus 2.32.0 Rhythmbox 0.13.1 VLC 1.1.4 GStreamer 0.10.30 The cdrom section of lshw is: *-cdrom description: DVD-RAM writer product: DVDRAM GH22NS50 vendor: HL-DT-ST physical id: 0.0.0 bus info: s...@4:0.0.0 logical name: /dev/cdrom logical name: /dev/cdrw logical name: /dev/dvd logical name: /dev/dvdrw logical name: /dev/scd0 logical name: /dev/sr0 version: TN00 capabilities: removable audio cd-r cd-rw dvd dvd-r dvd-ram configuration: ansiversion=5 status=ready *-medium physical id: 0 logical name: /dev/cdrom One other thing that may be worth mentioning is the fact that the DVD drive has some firmware adware (although I'm sure LG wouldn't call it that). When the drive is closed and empty, it registers as containing a disc labelled "Bluebirds," which appears to be some drag+drop burning software or something of a similar description. When the drive is open or the drive contains a disc and is closed, it is as it would normally be. Due to the fact that I am having partial success in nautilus, limited success in rhythmbox, and total success in vlc, I am unsure as to where the problem lies for this issue. If I can provide any further useful information please let me know.
