Changing song data takes forever, freezes Rhythmbox

[Chris Hardee]

I have a large but not insane music collection, often while playing songs I see small mistakes in the tagging information (Artist case is wrong, wrong year). When this happens I right-click go to properties and change the info, this always causes Rhythmbox to freeze up and takes between 4-5mins for control to be handed back. Very annoying! I'm not sure if the entire database has to be rebuilt every time a minor edit is made but this is getting ridiculous.

Could you test if this bug exist in new rhythmbox 2.97 version? 2.97 fixes lots of bugs, existing in 2.96, which is in Ubuntu 12.04 LTS

You can install rhythmbox 2.97-1ubuntu1~precise1 from official gnome3-team repository ( ppa:gnome3-team/gnome3 ), see
