Bug Description

Inserting any audio CD, even ones previously recognised, results in a message : "Could not find this album on Music Brainz". No album or track title information is retrieved. The CD is shown in the left hand panel under Devices as "Unknown Audio". This now happens for every CD inserted. Not sure if this helps, but Banshee shows the same problem, displaying a message stating "Could not fetch metadata for CD"

This issue continues on in 11.04 & 11.10.
If rhythmbox is to become the default in 12.04 then maybe this should be addressed

Well - even though the current RB source in ubuntu has a build-dep on libmusicbrainz3-dev, support doesn't get enabled.
So I guess that that answers why no support. Would be nice if it could retrieve the cdinfo somehow.
from LP build logs

Why such decision has been made? Why not give people freedom to choose software they want to use?

Need to force* people to switch Banshee?
Now, when we are forced to use Banshee, will we be forced to switch back to Rhythmbox with 12.04?

In essense it is though some things have changed in 11.10/12.04, so maybe go ahead & dupe.

Currently rhythmbox has no Musicbrainz support enabled nor any other means to rerieve cd info/album art so it's no longer an issue of the support being broken, it plain isn't there in the 1st. place.

Am going to file a new 12.04 bug specific to this
