Bug Description
The problem affects only files that are read-only, and that have no title tag defined. Steps to reproduce:
1. highlight such a file
2. select the "Edit Tag 'Title'" item from the context (pop-up) menu
3. press Enter, thereby accepting the change to the name -- even if there was none
4. a pop-up appears, telling that the tag cannot be changed. Up till now, everything is normal
5. the Title column of the file in the song list becomes empty
The title is not forgotten; if the file is started, it will appear in the big popup, or in the small popup, that appears if the mouse is moved over the icon in the notification area on the tray. However, it will remain empty in the song list.
I am running Kubuntu Gutsy. Amarok is version 2:1.4.7-0ubuntu3.

Hi,
amarok (1.4.3) does not prevent the user that he tag-edit files, that are read-only. Of course it is a bit stupid trying to do it. But imagine this worst case:
You copied 100 mp3 three years ago from a CDR into your home. Of course you forgot, that they are read-only and now you start to tag 100 files with the 'Edit Tag Information ...' Dialog. After 30 minutes hard work everything is tagged and you click 'save & close'. Boom! You get an error message and all your changes are lost!
I found two reports, which describe this problem as a side node, but they unfortunetely got closed without fixing this specific issue:
Bug 110299
Bug 131274
