1. Error transferring track: "could not open resource for writing"
This error is displayed if the imported ( copy mode ) song is already available in Rhythmbox Music Library. So, if you import ( copy mode ) the same song more than once, this message will be displayed. The import is aborted as a safety measure to avoid unintentionally overwriting your files in the Music Library ( which might have better metadata tag / album art than the copy source ). The error message displayed in the dialog could be better and the UI dialog could offer a choice to "skip / skip all / overwrite / overwrite all / cancel" to the user. You can open a new issue on this at https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/rhythmbox/-/issues/new providing all necessary info. 2. The "error" mentioned in the initial bug description ( Import 4974 listed tracks ) is what I think is a hidden issue. I would guess that there are duplicate songs / tracks in your iTunes library, which Rhythmbox import code detects and fails. Try repeating the steps in the initial bug description ( start from empty Rhythmbox Library ). Capture the "rhythmbox.log" and attach it here. Hint: Look for "Could not open resource for writing" string in the rhythmbox.log. The song listed in the line above this error message is the duplicate file which causes the import to fail. 3. The "crash" mentioned in the initial bug description is a different bug tracked in: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/rhythmbox/-/issues/1768 You can update it with your findings. ** Bug watch added: gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/rhythmbox/-/issues #1768 https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/rhythmbox/-/issues/1768 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1876716 Title: Error transferring track: "could not open resource for writing" when copying tracks to library To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/rhythmbox/+bug/1876716/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
