I am having a problem with Exaile and I don't know if it's a bug or the way Exaile works. I tried to add a CD to my library using Exaile but it showed 0% and would not extract the tracks. If I play the CD it will play but shows the titles as Track 1, Track 2, etc. This is the first time this has happened. I tried Rhythmbox and it extracted to the library and played fine showing the titles correctly. I can add the tracks extracted by Rhythmbox to the collection in Exaile, but no tracks are displayed under the album name.

The CD is classical music (purchased, not burned) with very long track titles. For example:

"Symphony No. 6 in F major "Pastorale": I. Awakening of Cheerful Feelings upon Arrival in the Country: Allegro ma non troppo"

Does anyone know if the length of the track title is the problem? I will try to edit the track names in Rhythmbox and then see what Exaile does.

It may have to do with some sort of arbitrary character limit built into Exaile.

Or Exaile may not recognize the metadata of those tracks from that particular CD. Or the internet archive that Exaile downloads the track information from may not have an entry for that album.

Sound Juicer is a great stand-alone tool for extracting CDs, if you are looking for one.

In any case, report this as a bug to the Exaile development team. The normal activity of the program should to get the correct names of the tracks and to extract them.
