can not rename artist mp3 tags

[nelson2k]

Binary package hint: rhythmbox

When I right click on a song, or multiple songs, and I change the artist name, rhythmbox changes it properly, but after a few seconds it undoes the changes and returns to the previous artist name.
This bug does not apply to the song name or any other property, just the artist property.

thanks for the report, it does change that here, could ou get a rhythmbox debug log and attach an example to the report? please get a debug log with: rhythmbox --debug &> rhythmbox-debug.txt and attach the resulting file to the report, thanks.

The issue is an upstream one and it would be nice if somebody having it could send the bug the to the people writting the software (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/Upstream/GNOME)

Opened rhythmbox, clicked on Recently Added, and then tried to rename artist name from "Quejas de Bandoneon (tango 1924 Orq. Anibal Troilo)" to just "Anibal Troilo" on the file:
/shared/mp3/tango/Various/La Historia del Tango/01-Quejas de Bandoneon (tango 1924 Orq. Anibal Troilo)-Quejas de Bandoneon (tango 1924 Orq. Anibal Troilo).mp3

hi, i have the same problem under Lucid Lynx. However, it's the same when i try to edit the tags in easytag or another media player, so i don't think this is a rhythmbox-issue! My music folder has reading+writing permission, but somehow the system doesn't act like it.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. We are sorry that we do not always have the capacity to look at all reported bugs in a timely manner. There have been many changes in Ubuntu since that time you reported the bug and your problem may have been fixed with some of the updates.

Bug didn't expire due to assignment
No response to comment #7 for further information
or any comments to suggest bug still exists for over 5 years
Artist name changeable here with rhythmbox 3.4.3 so closing as fixed
