It seems this bug will celebrate it's second anniversary soon.
This problem still exists in 0.12.5 on Ubuntu 9.10/amd64. I've got some files with this problem, too. Here you go: This is the ignored ID3-Tag: $ strings 187\ -\ Ac\ Dc\ -\ Back\ In\ Black.mp3 |head -15 ulTIT2 Back In BlackTPE1 AC-DCTDRC 1980TALB The Rolling Stone Magazines 500 Greatest Songs Of All TimeTRCK 187TCON 79TPOS 1RVA2 track RVA2 album TPE4 VAAPIC image/jpeg JFIF And here an ambiguous apetag confusing rhythmbox (Do I get this right? I don't know apetag, but I see two different albums down there, when I change the tag, the change is active for about two seconds, then the information of the last line here is active again). As a matter of fact there is nothing changed in the file when rhythmbox "writes" the tag. $ strings 187\ -\ Ac\ Dc\ -\ Back\ In\ Black.mp3 |tail -15 LAME3.93 APETAGEX Genre Hard Rock Year 1980 Album Back In Black Artist AC-DC Title Back In Black Track 187APETAGEX TAGBack In Black AC-DC The Rolling Stone Magazines 501980 So the problem is obvious and it is what people already stated here - there is another tag written than the one read. -- rhythmbox saves mp3 tag at start of file but loads already existing tag from end of file https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/180627 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to rhythmbox in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
