Thanks for the report, could you run rhythmbox as: rhythmbox --debug &> rhythmbox-debug.txt perform the operation to reproduce the bug and attach that resulting log file to the report? thanks.

I am also having this problem. I just upgraded to 9.04 from 8.10, using ubuntu server. I am using rhythmbox 0.12.0.

Attached is the result of rhythmbox --debug &> rhythmbox-debug.txt

---
% rhythmbox --version
GNOME rhythmbox 0.12.0

This is a shorter debug output after I cleared out my library. I now have two files in my library, and have rhythmbox set to scan the library on startup.

I ran rb with just one file (Skyscraper) and there was no problem.

I quit, then added Cumbancha, then started again.
 When Cumbancha was scanned during startup, the dialog for id3 tag was thrown up.

Current music library:

test/
02. La Cumbancha.mp3
02. Mmm Skyscraper I Love You.mp3

the bug should be sent to the software writters on bugzilla.gnome.org by somebody having the issue

among others, does removing those from the library stop the issue?

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. It would help us a lot if you could test it on a currently supported Ubuntu version. When you test it and it is still an issue, kindly upload the updated logs by running apport-collect <bug #> and any other logs that are relevant for this particular issue.
