Has this been fixed yet for Maverick (10.10)? This is somehow ridiculous, folks - the change by MusicBrainz was fully reasonable, and the fix probably trivial: a full year on and Rhytmbox is still broken for us on 10.10.
As others have said, this is a functionality we take for granted on our Macs (much as I personally hate iTunes) and even Windoze machines.... and which we used to have on our Ubuntu boxes. Probably a one-day fix, and it's been here for almost a year now? PS - this is also one of the reasons I haven't upgraded to 11.x (and most likely won't to 12.x either): I'm comfortable with the stuff that works now, and have no confidence that it will continue to work if I upgrade. Eye candy is all well and good, but it's the basic functionality that ought to be taken care of first and foremost. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to rhythmbox in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/787475 Title: Rhythmbox [0.12.8] & [0.12.5] Not Fetching Album Information From MusicBrainz Status in The Rhythmbox Music Management Application: Confirmed Status in “rhythmbox” package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in “rhythmbox” source package in Lucid: Triaged Status in “rhythmbox” source package in Maverick: Confirmed Status in “rhythmbox” source package in Natty: Confirmed Bug description: May 24th, 2011 On my two Ubuntu machines Rhythmbox is not fetching album tagging information from MusicBrainz even though the information exists on the MusicBrainz database.
