Description Matěj Laitl 2013-03-04 17:54:23 UTC
When one inserts an Audio (CDDA) CD, it shows up as "Audio CD" in Amarok Local Music pane. When one inserts an USB Stick, it shows up under its label in Local Music pane.

But if one inserts data CD with for example mp3's on it (appears to be common as e.g. many car CD players are able to play mp3's), it doesn't show up in Amarok at all. Internally, UmsCollection (one handling USB Mass Storage) would be able to handle data CDs just fine, it just needs to be taught to activate itself on data cds too.

The task will involve tweaking Solid rules to create new UmsCollection in UmsCollectionFactory. Both cases need to be handled: when data CD is present at the time Amarok is started and when data CD is inserted when Amarok is running. People working on this are encouraged to study output of `solid-hardware list details` and its difference for USB Sticks, Audio CDs and data CDs.

(Note: UmsCollection is badly named - it is not really specific to USB Mass Storage. Suggestions for better name for internally and user-visible are welcome. Perhaps FilesystemCollection and "Filesystem-based Collection"?)
