rhythmbox-metadata process sometimes freezes

[Terry Hamel]

Binary package hint: rhythmbox

Selecting multiple mp3 entries to edit metadata properties sometimes causes rhythmbox to becomes unresponsive (grays out), yet audio still plays. Found killing rhythmbox-metadata returns control. CPU on rhythmbox-metadata is minimal during the freeze. Not sure what causes it, as it can fail on one pass, yet succeed the same steps directly afterward.

After kill rhythmbox-metadata, get "Error with GStreamer, could not save metadata" error dialogue box. Expected, but GStreamer responsible?
