This all sounds very much like the bug I mentioned before, so I'm
merging them. Upstream has been aware of the bug for sometime, but I
don't know what is happening at the moment on it. You can look at the
links I posted before (and below) for more information on it.

Since you are running stretch, I'm guessing you have easytag 2.4.3-1
installed.

There is this major bug related to OGG file handling in easytag:
 https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=776110
 https://bugs.debian.org/855251

This doesn't sound exactly the same though. In the above bug, editing
ogg files can corrupt them. For you, do the ogg files change at all?
Does ogginfo (from the vorbis-tools package) report that the tags have
been deleted or any other errors?

Thanks,
James

Bug#878009: easytag fails to add tags to .ogg files

Dear Maintainer,

  Easytag is not adding audio tags to .ogg files. Upon trying to modify tags of
an already tagged .ogg file, it DELETES all tags, leaving everything blank.

What works? .mp3 files are edited successfully. I can see the Nautilus window
flashing (updating contents) as soon as I press the "save changes" icon in
Easytag. But when the file is .ogg, the Nautilus screen where the file is
remains unchanged, probably a sign that the component that deals with vorbis
files is not acting/working.

I tried newer packages from Fedora Workstation 26 and Arch Linux before filing
this bug report, and the result is the same in all of them. Therefore I'm
assuming it concerns upstream developers.
