Bugzilla – Bug 14587
Duplicate albums due to MuiscBrainz tags
Last modified: 2011-03-16 04:40:38 UTC
I noticed that albums I had added to my library recently ended up there multiple times: The album showed up once for each track and each album did only contain one track. After some research I found the reason for this to be the MusicBrainz meta data attached to the files in question. The files are Ogg Vorbis and I ripped them using the GNOME music ripper app (Sound Juicer). Sound Juicer creates MusicBrainz tags like these: MUSICBRAINZ_ALBUMID=http://musicbrainz.org/release/c91d27ac-ffb3-4c45-8f1d-31294d2485c0.html MUSICBRAINZ_ALBUMARTISTID=http://musicbrainz.org/artist/610404f9-26bd-4be2-8697-f916495f14a4 MUSICBRAINZ_ARTISTID=http://musicbrainz.org/artist/610404f9-26bd-4be2-8697-f916495f14a4 MUSICBRAINZ_TRACKID=http://musicbrainz.org/track/b884299a-f9d2-4e89-8bb8-d84f71b8bff9 I tagged the files again using the "official" MusicBrainz Picard app which creates the following tags: musicbrainz_albumartistid=610404f9-26bd-4be2-8697-f916495f14a4 musicbrainz_albumid=c91d27ac-ffb3-4c45-8f1d-31294d2485c0 musicbrainz_artistid=610404f9-26bd-4be2-8697-f916495f14a4 musicbrainz_trackid=b884299a-f9d2-4e89-8bb8-d84f71b8bff9 After a library re-scan the albums no longer show up as duplicates. I'm not sure how to solve this problem: 1) The MusicBrainz specification only _recommends_ a format for metadata: http://musicbrainz.org/docs/specs/metadata_tags.html 2) I was unable to find a specification of the MusicBrainz UUID format 3) After a short glance at the Sound Juicer source code I noticed to things: i) The ".html" suffix of the album ID is appended in Sound Juicer source code (for reason unkown to me) ii) The IDs seem to be produced by the MusicBrainz library otherwise Maybe someone more experienced with the MusicBrainz conventions can find a solution for this. For now I am re-tagging the problematic albums with Picard, but this is no satisfactory solution, of course.
*** Bug 13734 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
According to Pat in bug 13734 this is new behavior when it comes to these MusicBrainz tags from Sound Juicer in Squeezebox Server. Unless of course this is new tag behavior in Sound Juicer. Either way it would be nice to get a fix into 7.4.1 if it turns out to be a simple fix.
Just curious, why did this one get to live and the other one https://bugs-archive.lyrion.org/show_bug.cgi?id=13734 get marked as a duplicate of this, since the other one is at least a month older. In a lot of shops, older bugs get higher priority.
