When changing properties of mp3s (title, artist, etc) receive error "Error while saving song information Unable to create tag-writing elements"

[jtholb]

Binary package hint: rhythmbox

Summary sums it up. When trying to change the properties of an mp3 (title, artist, etc.) I receive error:

Error while saving song information
Unable to create tag-writing elements

The tags successfully change though despite the error message.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better, however the report is missing some information, may you please run rhythmbox as: rhythmbox --debug &> rhythmbox-debug.txt ; perform the steps to reproduce the bug and attach that resulting log file to the report? Thanks in advance!.

[jtholb (jtholb)]

I've attached the log file. Thanks so much.

[jtholb (jtholb)]

The latest update seems to have resolved the issue. Thanks.

I am still facing the same issue. Infact when i tag it doesnt get saved. I have attached 2 screenshots and the log file. Also am unable to close the error.

[Phillip Griego (phillipguy-deactivatedaccount)]

I agree with mrJimmymathew as I am also receiving this error in Lucid and I do have everything updated

[EisFrei (martin-freisen)]

Installing libid3 and restarting rhythmbox fixed this for me

[EisFrei (martin-freisen)]

False alarm. It just took two minutes for the error message to appear...

I'm having the same problem.
I'm running Rhythmbox 0.12.8 on Ubuntu 10.04 LTS.
I found out that if I select multiple tracks at the same time to try to modify its properties, it does nothing and shows the same error as above mentioned; but if I only select one track at a time, it still shows the error but saves the updated information in its properties.

[makubi (online-services)]

Same here.

I attached some output of my dmesg.

I tried to edit some tags here under Ubuntu Maverick and works fine for me, maybe idtag library is already fixed in this release. Please could you check if this behaviour works fine for you with latest release included in Maverick? Thanks.
