Does this issue exist in the latest version?
- [x] I'm using the latest release
Describe the bug?
When setting CDDBMETHOD=musicbrainz,cdtext, cdtext is never used, even when present on the disk.
To Reproduce
Get a CD without a musicbrainz match, but with CDTEXT. (tested with Bethea - In His Hands)
Set CDDBMETHOD=musicbrainz,cdtext
Rip CD
What OS are you seeing the problem on?
Other (please state in Anything else? section)
ARM Release Version or Git hash (You can find this in the arm settings page)
v2.10.3
Expected behavior?
One would expect abcde to first check musicbrainz, then, if the disk is not identified, fall back to cdtext to name the tracks/album

Anything else?
OS: NixOS (ARM running as a docker container)
In the ABCDE config, there is the following:
# CD reader program to use - currently recognized options are 'cdparanoia',
# 'libcdio' (cd-paranoia),'icedax', 'cdda2wav', 'dagrab', 'pird',
# 'cddafs' (Mac OS X only) and 'flac'.
#CDROMREADERSYNTAX=cdparanoia
libcdio is what I used to verify that the disc did indeed have CDText, by running cd-info -C /dev/srX. I'm guessing it's possible that I need to install libcdio and set the CDROMREADERSYNTAX to libcdio, since it looks like it might use libcdio for cdtext and cd-paranoia for the actual ripping? I'm not entirely sure, but I might give that a shot.
Code of Conduct
- [x] I agree to follow this project's Code of Conduct
That sounds like an issue with abcde, not ARM. If the ripper doesn't do it, there's not much ARM can do about it.
Does abcde do it correctly when run on bare metal instead of in the container?
I haven't tested abcde bare metal, no. I'll try that and/or the libcdio idea and report back.
Does cdtext require any manual input? Not having used it, if it does that would cause issues as ARM sets .abcde and then just waits for it to finish
I also have not been able to get cdtext working (no sign of anything cdtext-related in the log files). For that matter, I also can't get cddb working... only musicbrainz-related activity appears in the logs. I have a growing pile of discs that were not recognized by musicbrainz, so I'm working on my config now for a second pass. Hopefully I will have some time to contribute some troubleshooting to this issue soon.
As an intital test, I installed abcde on Ubuntu 22.04.5 LTS and ripped a CD using the ARM's abcde.conf with no modifications.
When ripped by abcde alone, I get "CD-Text: not detected" for each track at the command line, and the temporary folder for this disc contains a "data-cdtext" subfolder. As expected, the "cd-text" file indicates that no cdtext was present on the disc but regardless it's clear that the feature is working in abcde.
With some tweaking, I have cddb working (using gnudb.org) but still no sign of cdtext via ARM with the following in abcde.conf :
CDDBMETHOD=cdtext,musicbrainz,cddb
CDDBURL="http://gnudb.gnudb.org/~cddb/cddb.cgi"
HELLOINFO="youruser@yourdomain"
ACTIONS=cddb,musicbrainz,cue,read,encode,tag,move,clean,playlist,getalbumart,embedalbumart
I notice that musicbrainz doesn't appear in the abcde docs for ACTIONS but it is in ARM's default abcde.conf:
https://github.com/automatic-ripping-machine/automatic-ripping-machine/blob/de2d8d404c0b07871d977d4ef4d16e72d318a624/setup/.abcde.conf#L379
There is no documented 'cdtext' action, either... alas adding it to ACTIONS doesn't seem to help. I guess that would be too easy.
The .conf gives the impression that configuring CDDBMETHOD with more than one method would run each of them via the 'cddb' action (hence no need for 'musicbrainz' either). Removing 'musicbrainz' doesn't seem to cause any problems for me so maybe it's superfluous.
I will likely need a disc with known-good cd-text to make additional progress.
Possibly related: can anyone tell me what causes all these "uncaught attribute type-id"s to be logged?

I will likely need a disc with known-good cd-text to make additional progress.
I have many, many disks at my disposal - I don't have a ton of time at the moment, but would be happy to do testing/supply an ISO/IMG if possible. If anyone knows off hand what utility I could use I'd be happy to try.
