Hi Gordon,

I'm not so sure this is a bug, and I need to revisit the bug report.

I've checked out the headers within the MP3 files (something like):
	od -a track.mp3 | head -50

This shows that some of the tracks do contain the wrong information;
however, file (track.mp3) hasn't been updated since 2011 - long before I
upgraded to 14.04.  This would suggest that the file has always been
incorrect, but the old rhythmbox seemed somehow to display the correct
information.

However it got the correct information is "not working". Maybe it would
be nice to have a cddb look up function in rhythmbox to update any old
tracks like this?

My ability to rip CDs has degraded, do you get that too?

Title:
  rhythm box overwrites track information

  ============================

  Just upgraded to 14.04, and I now can't get rid of US keyboard, so
  ouble quotes, Shift-2, are now @ :(

  Rhythmbox display several new @random@ genres, E.g. @Indie, Pop, Jazz@
  Don't know where it gets this string from, but since the genre is in
  the header of the sound file it suggests this is writing to the file
  on disk!

  On playing albums, the track information (from properties) is
  incorrect - some  albums have the same information for all tracks, or
  one of the fields is the same for all tracks.. Looking down the list
  of all songs it shows some track details are swapped between albums.

  Does Rhythmbox in 14.04 attempt to do this? Should I retrieve my music
  back-up, or will
