Hi.

When ripping CDs, K3b has a button called "Save CDDB Entry Locally". I assume this is supposed to save any CDDB-fetched and/or user-entered metadata so K3b doesn't have to reload them.

Does this ever work?

It does not work for me. At least, it does not save user-entered metadata. If I try to save CDDB entry and then restart K3b, it will forget all data I had entered and reload it all from CDDB. I filed a bug report about this two years ago, which has been collecting dust ever since: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=271134

I am wondering why no one else notices. I would think others would have this issue. Does "Save CDDB Entry Locally" work for any of you?

Hi! Saw ur post while trying to find answer to my problem, and yes I think they are related. I have k3b 2.0.2 on openSUSE 13.1 w/settings to allow cddb search while copying audio disk. However, k3b copies/burns the disk, but no title/artist info is copied to the finished/burned disk. What I get on the completed disk is: 'Track1.wav', 'Track2.wav', . . .etc. Honestly, I almost didn't notice due to never, *ever* had this issue before now. Last time I burned audio disks was maybe 6 months ago; no problem then or ever before. Always, k3b inserted the correct title/artist info from the disk I was copying. I'll keep this thread posted if I find a solution. Note: I did a new start-up of the 'copy cd' process to really pay attention and what I found is that k3b *is* listing the correct title/artist info (bottom pane) *but* this data is greyed-out! Don't know what or why this is. Again, I will follow up if I find anything more. Take Care. Have A Healthy, Prosperous Day!!
