** Attachment added: "Banshee screenshot showing the missing metadata information"
   https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/banshee/+bug/877726/+attachment/2558535/+files/Captura%20banshee.png

** Description changed:

  In a clean Ubuntu 11.10 install, I started using banshee instead of
- rhythmbox, and once the music library scan was completed, I realised
+ rhythmbox, and once the music library scan was completed, I realized
  that many files were displayed as "Unknown artist" and "Unknown album".
- Also, the song title was the filename (without the extension).
+ Also, the song title was the file name (without the extension). This
+ behavior seems to happen only with wma or m4a files. Metadata from
+ regular mp3 and ogg music files seems to work flawlessly.
  
  Maybe banshee doesn't support these files, but then it lets me edit the
  song information, which doesn't make sense. The metadata is there, but
  banshee just doesn't read it.
  
  Is there any solution?
  
  I'm using ubuntu 11.10 amd64 and banshee 2.2.0-1ubuntu2
