Yes, you are right, it is not a MP3 file. My main problem wasn't that it doesn't work, but the lack of debugging options.
It would be nice if rhythmbox could display the tags of webm containers with opus audio (like id3info), or if it would somehow tell you that test.mp3 is not a valid mp3 file. I also opened a bug in youtube-dl, but it got closed (IMHO completely unjustified). https://github.com/ytdl-org/youtube-dl/issues/21785 ** Bug watch added: github.com/ytdl-org/youtube-dl/issues #21785 https://github.com/ytdl-org/youtube-dl/issues/21785 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to rhythmbox in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1836459 Title: Rythmbox fails to read mp3 tags Status in rhythmbox package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: Please note, that I'm not 100 % sure if this is a bug in rythmbox, it could be a bug in id3v2 or in youtube-dl, but I think it's in Rythmbox. How to reproduce: Step 1: Run the following commands: sudo apt install youtube-dl ffmpeg id3v2 -y youtube-dl --extract-audio --audio-format mp3 "https://youtu.be/Sqk3B2041uk"; --output test.mp3 id3v2 -t "cooltitle" -a "coolartist" test.mp3 In theory this should create an mp3 file "test.mp3" with the title "cooltitle" and the artist "coolartist". I confirmed this using id3info test.mp3 : *** Tag information for test.mp3 === TIT2 (Title/songname/content description): cooltitle === TPE1 (Lead performer(s)/Soloist(s)): coolartist *** mp3 info MPEG1/layer I Bitrate: 320KBps Frequency: 44KHz When I open test.mp3 using Rythmbox, Rythmbox is able to play this song, but its says that the artist is unknown an the title is test.mp3.
