The importance of this bug for a LTS release shouldn't be set to "low". It takes a lot of time to correct the ID3 tags, the fastest way is probably to recover the files from a backup.
I'll try to upgrade to 2.97 from the PPA linked in here http://www.webupd8.org/2012/10/rhythmbox-298-released-install-it-in.html (they say 2.98 has another bug). -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to rhythmbox in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/996150 Title: Rhythmbox writes wrong ID3 tags when multiple files are changed Status in The Rhythmbox Music Management Application: Fix Released Status in “rhythmbox” package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in “rhythmbox” source package in Precise: Triaged Status in Baltix GNU/Linux: Confirmed Bug description: Changing the ID3 tags (e.g. 'Title') of multiple files in Rhythmbox will write the first changed 'Title' to all subsequently changes files. How to reproduce: 1. Open Rhythmbox in Ubuntu 12.04 2. Select an Album or Artist with more than one song 3. Change the title of the first song (right click, preferences, change title, next or submit) 4. Change the title of the next song and so on 5. Open the folder for that Album in Nautilus and check the ID3 tags in the preferences of each file 6. Recognize that all changed titles have the title of the first changed song Example Before change: Abba - blablub1 Abba - blablub2 Abba - blablub3 Change in Rhythmbox to: Abba - Dancing Queen Abba - Thank you for the music Abba - Money Money Money After change (in ID3 tags of the files): Abba - Dancing Queen Abba - Dancing Queen (although this is 'Thank you for the music') Abba - Dancing Queen (although this is 'Money Money Money') I could reproduce this error on 3 completely different PCs with completely different songs.
