Re: [mb-users] how to handle "enhanced CD"??

This is probably this known (and fixed) bug:
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=708991
summary:
Rhytmbox was using libdiscid up until 2.97 and everything was fine.
Then with 2.98 they used gstreamer for MusicBrainz Disc IDs. The
gstreamer implementation was broken.
The fixed gstreamer is gst-plugins-base1.0 (1.3.1).

So either use Rhytmbox <= 2.97 or make sure you have at least
gst-plugins-base1.0 version 1.3.1.

Another workaround is to use MusicBrainz Picard to submit enhanced CDs,
when you can't get working versions of the other tools easily.

About your other mail and the "contradiction".
MusicBrainz defines what a MusicBrainz DiscID should look like for a CD.
If a DiscID does not conform (because of bugs) then "things fall apart".
What that part tries to tell:
"Removing data tracks should work automatically when you add a DiscID",
which it does in the absence of (3rd party) bugs.

PS:
I am aware that there is a Ubuntu LTS (Trusty Tahr) with "broken
versions" so the problem will haunt us for quite some time still.
Unfortunately the fix probably won't be backported to Trusty and/or
gstreamer 1.2.x. This is not in our hands. (gstreamer and Ubuntu are in
charge of that)
