Comment 8 for bug 180627

It seems this bug will celebrate it's second anniversary soon.

This problem still exists in 0.12.5 on Ubuntu 9.10/amd64.

I've got some files with this problem, too. Here you go:

This is the ignored ID3-Tag:

And here an ambiguous apetag confusing rhythmbox (Do I get this right? I don't know apetag, but I see two different albums down there, when I change the tag, the change is active for about two seconds, then the information of the last line here is active again). As a matter of fact there is nothing changed in the file when rhythmbox "writes" the tag.

So the problem is obvious and it is what people already stated here - there is another tag written than the one read.
