Public bug reported: 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. ** Affects: rhythmbox (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1836459 Title: Rythmbox fails to read mp3 tags To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/rhythmbox/+bug/1836459/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
