Hi,

I guess this is a problem in gstreamer0.10-plugins-good, can you try
the following pipeline and see if it reads the tag correctly?

 gst-launch-0.10 filesrc location=song.mp3 ! id3demux ! fakesink -t

You can also try and compare the results of gst-launch-0.8.

If that reads the genre tag correctly, try moving your Rhythmbox
library (~/.gnome2/rhythmbox) out of the way and re-importing the
files. I had a few similar problems when moving from Rb 0.8 to 0.9.
