[Rhythmbox-devel] Rhythmbox clobbering sound files

[Tom Rindborg <Tom Rindborg fatburen org>]

Hi,

I am in the process of resampling my CD collection with a more modern 
lame and with higher bit rate. Having done so with a few albums I 
noticed that some songs were inexplicably corrupted (truncated & tags 
changed), and since I access my music from several hosts (including 
Windows) I tended to initially blame my Windows systems for the 
corruption, but alas it turns out that Rhythmbox is the culprit (running 
Ubuntu 9.10 and Rhythmbox 0.12.5). I have now write protected my music 
collection, and when I restart Rhythmbox after having resampled a CD I 
get a lot of popups from Rhythmbox complaining that files cannot be updated.

Personally I do not want ANY program to modify my sound files unless I 
tell it to, so I am a bit curious: what is the reason Rhythmbox is 
trying to modify my sound files? I cannot find any option controlling 
this behavior, is there one, or would that be a feature request? :-)
