Hello,
I've recently switched from Suse 9.0 to 10.3. Playing CDs with banshee
works fine, but when I try to import CDs with banshee I get the
following error:
Could not open CD device for reading.: gstcdparanoiasrc.c (240):
gst_cd_paranoia_src_open ():/pipeline/cdparanoia:cdda_identity failed

When I call cdparanoia directly (cdparanoia -vsQ), cdparanoia shows
the Table of Contents of a CD like e.g.:

cdparanoia III release 9.8 (March 23, 2001)
(C) 2001 Monty <monty(a)xiph.org> and Xiphophorus

I'm at a loss and I would appreciate any hints how to solve this problem.

Thanks

Are you playing the CDs while importing them? This can cause problems.
Also try updating to 0.13.2.

If banshee's playing the CD when I press the import button, then I see
sometimes the same error or banshee stalls.
Gnome starts banshee with:
banshee /usr/lib/banshee/banshee.exe --play --audio-cd %d
(%d is replaced by /dev/sr1)

And to my amazement it works when I leave away either "--play" or
"--audio-cd".

I've now started banshee in an xterm and this shows a lot more:

Will try this over the weekend.

While looking for the version you suggested, I found version 0.98.3 and
installed it (with one-click-install for OpenSuse 10.3). My original problem
is now gone, but alas there's a new one:
Banshee complains now: Could not fetch metadata for CD
I see the following output from banshee:

[1015]$ banshee-1 --play --audio-cd /dev/sr1 &
[1016]$ [Info 00:24:01.614] Querying MusicBrainz for Disc Release (VijY3pl4ElONCJGf.CxQxb0HC0Y-)

But the original banshee (which is still there) is able to fetch the metadata.
Here I see a lot more output:

[1016]$ banshee --play --audio-cd /dev/sr1 &

So what now?
Maybe it would have been better to install 0.13.2 instead of 0.98.3.

0.98 is in heavy development. You can install them both side-by-side
though. run 0.13 as "banshee" and 0.98 as "banshee-1".
