Attempting to add metadata to an AAC file failed resulting in crash

[ADFH]

Binary package hint: rhythmbox

I had an audio file, extracted from an MP4 file, downloaded from a website..

Eg.

$ ffmpeg -i .....mp4 -acodec copy .....aac
...
$ file ....aac
....aac: MPEG ADTS, AAC, v4 LC, 44.1 kHz, stereo

Obviously, having been demuxed, there was none of the usual metadata on the audio track and I went into Rhythmbox to add it.

Rhythmbox failed with the message, "unable to create tag writing element".

Thanks for the report, it has been some time without any response or feedback in this bug report and we are wondering if this is still an issue for you with the latest release of Ubuntu the Natty Narwhal, May you please test with that version and comment back if you're still having or not the issue? Please have a look at http://www.ubuntu.com/download to know how to install that version. Thanks in advance and sorry for the late response.
