Version: SVN from 06 august 2005 (using KDE KDE 3.3.0) Installed from: Gentoo Packages OS: Linux First remove your write permission of a mp3, then add it to the amarok playlist. Then over e.g the album tag, right click and select "Edit album tag". Then just pres CTRL-C (copy) and click somewhere else. So you did not change the tag. But amarok still tries to write the tag again, and pops upp with a warning. So here I got 2 wishes: If the tag is not changed, do not try to write it back again. If the file is read only, do not alow to edit the tags from amarok. I discovered this as I got all my files read only, and sometimes like to copy the album string. Then the easiest is to chose "Edit album tag" and copy it.
