Bug#581865: Cannot edit id3-tags in rhythmbox

[Jon Jahren]

Package: rhythmbox
Version: 0.12.8-1
Severity: normal

When editing the tags for any given file, rhythmbox will fail with the message:
"Error while saving song information: Unable to create tag-writing elements",
however, it will write the metadata to the file and it will keep on running. If
you select several files, it will write to the first one and then fail on the
others. I've double checked permissions on my directory and it's local on my
machine. Please advise how I can troubleshoot this further.
