[Bug 1022077] Re: Rhythmbox messes up ID3 tags

 

I observed a similar problem with recent Rhythmbox on 12.04:
Some titles or artist got merged for whatever reason, say 3 artists "a" "b" "c" turned into "a" "a, b" "a, b, c".  Sometimes this would happen on the track titles within an album; in that case a character limit seemed to hit, so not even manually you can recover the correct title any more.

Any explanation for that behaviour?

Title:
  Rhythmbox messes up ID3 tags

Status in “rhythmbox” package in Ubuntu:
  Expired

Bug description:
  All my music is located on an external USB drive. In Rhythmbox music
  library location is set to ~/Music. In ~/Music I created a symbolic
  link to a folder on external drive (/media/external/Music). The USB
  cable I use to connect the drive to PC sometimes loses connection.
  After that Rhythmbox pauses playback because it can no longer read the
  file, but when drive reconnects again Rhythmbox rewrites ID3 tags of
  almost all the queued mp3 files.

  Ubuntu version: 12.04 LTS
  Rhythmbox version: 2.96
