Description Martin Steigerwald 2013-07-03 08:31:55 UTC

I currently encode from CDs to FLAC that do not have any suitable CDDB or Musicbrainz entries. I got information back for them that do not match the CDs.

Thus I disabled musicbrainz and freedb queries in Systemsettings / Multimedia / CDDB. Still even if I restart Dolphin, delete old CDDB file in ~/.cddb and re-insert the CD it queries Musicbrainz again.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Disable Musicbrainz / FreeDB queries in Systemsettings / Multimedia CDDB
2. Insert an Audio CD for which you would get a (wrong) musicbrainz entry.
3. Access Audio CD from within Dolphin.
Actual Results:
martin@merkaba:~/.cddb> grep -ir "Koploo" .
./musicbrainz/XcrCuvrcFIZoWM1FJWF.EVq4Ju4--3:DTITLE=Machinefabriek & Anne Bakker & Greg Haines / Koploop
./musicbrainz/XcrCuvrcFIZoWM1FJWF.EVq4Ju4--3:TTITLE0=Koploop

Expected Results:
No internet access whatsoever, no CDDB information, no musicbrainz information, unless already stored in ~/.cddb locally.

For MPEG-3 encoding there is a setting to write ID3 tag into file or not. I think it would be nice to have this generally. But not even retrieving the information would work as well for me and might be better in this case as it it inapprobiate anyway.

I just want to rip these CDs and insert metadata via Kid3 (without having to delete what kio_audiocd put there).

Hmmm, I just removed .cddb directory completely and then it works. Thus is has been old stuff in here, causing trouble. It still happened after deleting musicbrainz stuff that a CDDB entry seemed to match.

I retitle it into a wishlist to have an option to not use any existing CDDB/Musicbrainz information.

The data from Musicbrainz is stored in ~/.cddb/musicbrainz/discid (where discid is the musicbrainz discid), so just removing the usual cache files from cddb is not enough.

In your case, removing the file
~/.cddb/musicbrainz/XcrCuvrcFIZoWM1FJWF.EVq4Ju4--3 would have worked.
