Description Alberto Manuel Brandao Simoes 2005-03-10 15:47:21 UTC 
It is not possible to edit metainformation for mp3 files. You can ask for the
tags, a nice dialog is shown, but impossible to edit. It is just a save button
missing, and the ability to do that. I think it would make rhythmbox impressive.

The main reason why this is important: when you rip a CD, you never care about
the metainformation obtained from the Internet. The problem is that people write
group names and such information with different cases, no accents, and such
differences which makes the list of authors too large.
Comment 1 Morten Bojsen-Hansen 2005-03-11 11:31:52 UTC 
I agree. This is something I would consider a nice addition.

Also, it would be nice if we had a "Set these songs' artist to..." feature. You
could replace 'artist' with genre, album, year etc. too. This would be useful if
you have a number of songs og eg. the same artist, but the case of the artist
name differs from song to song - this way you could mass ID3-set your songs.
Comment 2 Anders K. Madsen 2005-03-16 03:06:13 UTC 
Agreed, this is something that is really needed.
Currently I use rhythmbox, but that's only because of the lack of alternatives
among the iTunes-clones... Sure, Jamboree is there and has a cool name, but
tag-editing isn't supported there either...

So basically, what would make rhythmbox a really usable music player instead of
just a "gstreamer demo" (with all respect) would be something along the lines of
the above mentioned features.

This is surely a specialised version of bug #76524 ...
