Exaile wants python-cddb, but I can't find it

Exaile keeps telling me that it can't play audio CDs with the python-cddb package. I've installed the Arch package called pycddb, but that didn't help.

Any ideas? I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling exaile (arch package), to no avail.

Thanks. Exaile works fine for mp3 on my hard drive, but it won't play a CD.

Welp, I just got the package here and installed it myself outside of the arch package system. So far, no probs. And exaile now plays cds.

As a rule I much prefer using arch packages, but I'm trusting that the file locations and such for arch are standard enough that doing a "third-party" install won't goof things up.

If anybody wants to weigh in on this, please do so. Otherwise, I'll monitor things and report back if I have problems. Thanks.

I believe the required package is cddb-py (in AUR).

Is correct, cddb-py is the right package.
