Hi,

I don't think so. It sounds more like you have some files with double
ID3 tags (more than just v1 and v2) or files with both ID3 and APE tags.

If that's the case, Rhythmbox will try to write to one format, but
re-read the other tag and create the situation you describe.

You should be able to figure out what tags the file have with this
command:

gst-launch-0.10 -t filesrc location=/path/to/song.mp3 ! decodebin ! fakesink

There are already a couple bugs reported about this upstream, I will
forward the bug appropriately if it is a bad tag. You should be able to
use a good tag editor, like Ex Falso, to correct the files if they
aren't too badly mangled.
