Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: rhythmbox
Numerous bug reports have been submitted about Rhythmbox's handling of
ID3 tags, so it is clear that its ID3 support is (yet) less than
perfect. I still like RB as a player, though. To avoid it corrupting my
tags, I therefore removed write access from my MP3 files. However, it is
still possible to edit a file's tag in RB, and it even turns write
permission back on.
Steps to reproduce:
1. Give an MP3 file only write permissions (444).
2. Locate the file in RB's music library, and edit its ID3 tag info.
Expected result:
- Rhythmbox should give an error message saying it does not have permission to
edit the file.
- File should be unchanged.
Actual result:
- ID3 tags are changed (and, I might add, somewhat corrupted).
- MP3 file gets write permission (644).
If this functionality is intentional, this can be considered an
enhancement request instead of a bug. In my opinion, applications should
generally respect file permissions.
I am using Rhythmbox 0.11.2 on an up-to-date Gutsy Installation.
