GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 345540
tag editing still not working - and still no warning!
Last modified: 2006-09-05 11:17:05 UTC
Please describe the problem: i browse and i browse about banshee and tagging mp3s and all i get is happy reports about banshee editing tags. it seems to me that banshee still only edits its internal db. the mp3s i edit are not changed at all. can we please have some official warning about this and a timeline for implementation. imagine somebody spending hours editing tags in banshee only to find that he has edited the files themselves... Steps to reproduce: 1. edit an mp3 tag with banshee 2. close banshee 3. open the file with any other player Actual results: changes in tags are not reflected Expected results: Does this happen every time? Other information: i first filed a bug report on this over a year ago. can we at least have a WARNING that tag editing is DISABLED...
I've just gone through the same discovery process that tags aren't updated in my files when I thought they were. The odd thing is after updating the tag and double clicking to play, the old information seems to comes back! Only after reading the mailing lists for July does the reasons for this start to make sense. In short, tagging within Banshee's (very nice) interface is simply a waste of time until write support comes in.
I have the same problem as the second person. When I double click to play it, it reverts to the old (wrong) info. It's screwing up my last.fm ;)
I can confirm that this bug is also in: 0.10.12. I edited my FLAC files just to discover that all the changes was gone when I reloaded my library. This bug really needs a higher priority and should be marked as Confirmed. It is a major error so either remove tag editing support, fix it or at least warn the user that the changes are not synced to the actual physical files.
We have tag editing in CVS now.
