A Google search turned up pretty much zip. There’s only one message (on three different sites…): [Banshee-List] Segment fault importing only mp3 files, and debug not cooperating

Well I guess I’m not playing that MP3… During this debugging process, I noticed Banshee would go out and query musicbrainz.org on start up. WTF? Off to musicbrainz.org where I find out that MusicBrainz is a music metadatabase. On the front page this caught my eye:”Download Picard (0.7.0) [Windows/Linux] (now with fingerprinting!)” Qu’est-ce que c’est?!? Now fingerprinting is a handy deal. I’ve got a *ton* of MP3s that don’t have, or worse, have incorrect, ID3 tags.

An apt-get update && apt-get install picard later, ‘picard’ was fixing my ID3 tags. After playing with that for a minute, I went back to Banshee, and wouldn’t you know, I had one more song in my library…

Moral of the Story: If Banshee can’t import an MP3 because of a System.OverflowException, check your ID3 tags!
