It's a bug in libcdaudio's cddb stuff.

It only tests for new files on every other run other than the first one.
Even scanning for new music doesn't take all that long, assuming you don't
have any mp3s.. I have it manually calculating mp3 length, so that's a bit
of a time sink. But, now that I've re-ripped everything to vorbis or flac, I
don't have any more mp3s, so I really don't care =)

I sorta resolved this seg fault problem by changing my
settings file to point to a different directory. I
guess the index of files, or the mp3's, or something
wasn't too likeable for mythmusic.

Anyway, the playback all works fine now, and when I go
to import a cd it grabs the cd info just fine and
tells me the artist, album, tracks, etc. But now when
I select the quality I want and then hit "import this
cd" it gives me a seg fault as well. All the console
spits out is "Checking: /path/to/file.ogg".

I checked the directory and it actually created the
file and everything, it just didn't write anything. I
am assuming this is not the cddb bug you were talking
about, so any ideas what's causing this problem?

Without a backtrace of the crash, nope.
