Package: file-roller
Version: 2.30.2-2
Severity: normal
For some reason file-roller is showing the old meta-data on some mp3 files that
I have. It is showing the files as they previously where instead of how they
are. This is affecting about half of these files. This issue then extends into
rythmbox since I believe it is using file-roller for it's metadata.
If someone knows how to clear the cache(if GNOME) keeps one on files, then I'd
love to be able to clear it. When I open up the file in any other program, VLC,
Musicbrainz Picard, or "Movie Player", the tracks are shown as they should be.

Hello macarthur inbody,
closing this for several reasons.
The issue is outdated.
Debian can't do anything about it, but if the issues persist in the
latest version please report it to the upstream project instead:
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/file-roller
The technical reason behind the observed behavior may be that ID3 tags
specs in MP3 files do have several versions. Some tools do read the old
ones only, some the new one, some both. Plesae check how file-roller
behave today.
Regards,
Christian
