Adding a video that shows the behavior. The first part shows the bug, and the second part demonstrates a workaround.
** Attachment added: "BansheeBug.mp4" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/banshee/+bug/760565/+attachment/2034818/+files/BansheeBug.mp4 ** Description changed: Binary package hint: banshee I am experiencing an absolute killer with Banshee that refrains me from using it. Importing does not work properly on my computer. Steps to reproduce: * Enable "Copy files to media folder when importing" and "Write metadata to files" in preferences * Take a few folders of music files * Import them What should happen: * All files should nicely show in Banshee's browser What happens instead: * As a matter of fact, not all files are important. Some are just omitted * For example, of a 20 song album, only songs 1-5, 7-14, and 18-20 would be imported. I checked the folder on my hard drive where it copies the files to, and they also don't show up in there * Furthermore, some songs appear twice in the library. They are NOT copied twice into the folder, however * This bug is perfectly reproducable + + Workaround: + * After having imported the files, manually drag and drop the missing ones into Banshee. They will be imported as expected, and even properly renamed and copied to your media library folder. Requesting critical importance for this one, as this might destroy an unconscious user's entire music library. I am quite happy I discovered Banshee did that BEFORE I wanted to delete my old music library. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Annex: As an example, I tried to import Papa Roach's discography. It did not work, so I tried to delete all files from within Banshee again and try to reimport the files. The behavior was even stranger. Now it would not import any at all. See the video attached.
