I have the same problem, but the difference is that I was using Mp3tag (on wine) to change the song info.

I am getting the same. When running rhythmbox with the --debug flag it just states:

Followed by the full address of the file. I have checked the file permissions and I have full read and write privileges.

The issue appears to be restricted to Rhythmbox as I am still able to edit the tags in Banshee.

I have a similair problem. Placed music in folder home/me/Music/Alagna/Viva. "(invalid encoding)" was added automatically to the name of some of the unarchived files. When trying to open with right click->Open with Rhythmbox, it didn't open the "invalid encoding" files (it played the files which weren't added "invalid encoding"). After importing, Rhythmbox played all files.
Rhythmbox imports the music, but as unknown artist, unknown album. Tried to select all songs in album and change artist and album. Gives errors for every file and doesn't change artist and album name. Tried for each mp3 separately and it still gave error, but it changed artist/album name.
Tried to change the artist name of two(at the same time) of the mp3s which didn't have the "invalid encoding" appended at their names. It changed the artist/album names to "unknown". It seems the problem is not that artist/album names are not changed, It seems the problem is they ARE CHANGED TO "unknown".

Tried to do the same thing with another bunch of mp3s and sometimes it showed all of the following:
"Error while saving song information Internal Data stream error"
"Error while saving song information Internal GStreamer problem,; file a bug"
"Error while saving song information Internal Data stream error"
and it changed the artist/album just for some of the files. For the same bunch of mp3s, it sometimes workes for all the mp3s, sometimes just for some of them.

My suggestion would be to make Rhythmbox automatically know Folder1 is artist name and Folder2 is album name when finds a file in /home/me/Music/Folder1/Folder2.

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.

Hi,

I don't use Rhythmbox now. Please, notice that I opened this bug 4 years ago!

So, I'm not able now to update the info, sorry. Maybe any other of the subscribers can do.
