Bug#671232: rhythmbox: Mixup informations of different edited mp3 files

May 02nd, 2012 - 12:00 pm ET by Nick Manini | Report spam
Package: rhythmbox
Version: 2.96-3
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,
when editing the tags of multiple files, rhythmbox mixes
them up.
The simplest way to reproduce this bug (without spoiling your precious mp3
collection) is:

- put two mp3 files in a folder (for example, download
http://www.mi.infm.it/manini/tmp/test_mp3.tgz, and unpack it)

- cd to this folder (in the example above: cd tmp)

- open both files in rhythmbox (rhythmbox *)

- right-click on the first song, and select Properties;

- in the dialog change the album tag of the first song to "aa";

- close the Properties dialog;

- right-click on the second song, and select Properties;

- change the album tag of the second song to "bb";

- close the Properties dialog.

- Exit from rhythmbox.

- Now, reopen both files in rhythmbox (rhythmbox *) or in any other music
player, e.g. audacious, and check the album tags of both songs.

- Both album tags now equal aa, while they should be aa and bb respectively,
instead.

This bug can and does cause extensive data loss (it did to me) when editing
the tags of multiple songs: most tags get screwed up.
This is why I consider this bug release critical.

The version of rhythmbox in squeeze had no such problem.

Thank you for any fix!
Nick

Actually, re-opening the files in rhythmbox shows them tagged as aa and
bb, but opening the file in *another* player (I've used vlc) does indeed
show "aa" for both songs.

I can't reproduce this issue. After following the steps you outlined,
a.mp3 is tagged aa and b.mp3 is tagged bb.



Would you mind reporting this bug upstream and let us know when you've
done so we can tag the bug accordingly.

Why is it that all of the instruments seeking intelligent life in the
