Description Marc 2011-08-07 16:02:29 UTC
Version:           3.4.2 (KDE 4.4.5) (using KDE 4.4.5) 
OS:                Linux

JUK recopies meta tag content to any new song clicked in the collection.

When playing a song and I click another in the collection JUK recopies part or all of the meta tag of the actually playing song to the next clicked one.

Since I got a mix up of Album and Interpret.

It seems to happen only to data which starts witch a figure, such as e.g. the Album 5150 of "Van Halen".

The changes in the tags persist.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
Close JUK and restart. Consistent reproduction possible even after system restart.
In JUK the changed meta tags persist.

Actual Results:  
Playing a song with a figure in any one field recopies to new song when selected in collection or playlist.

Expected Results:  
Do nothing!

OS: Linux (i686) release 2.6.32-5-686
Compiler: cc
Comment 1 Marc 2011-08-07 16:05:09 UTC
Happens only when clicking on a song already selected.
Comment 2 Marc 2011-08-25 21:38:10 UTC
Happens with all kinds of META TAG. No matter if figure or not. It recopies the meta information of the actual playing song to any other song clicked once with meta information editor open.
Comment 3 Marc 2011-10-15 16:33:23 UTC
Has this bug in this version been confirmed?
Can anyone of the maintainers confirm?
Comment 4 Marc 2011-11-15 11:53:12 UTC
Follow-up on previous. The bug is still marked unconfirmed.
Can somebody check, please.
Comment 5 Michael Pyne 2012-01-26 00:17:17 UTC
I'll look into this now... I think my JuK emails have been getting auto-buried. :(
Comment 6 Michael Pyne 2012-01-26 00:21:34 UTC
I've tried using fields with figures and without figures and cannot seem to reproduce.

What I've attempted is to have the Tag Editor showing, start a song playing, and click on a different song.

I then click in the Tag Editor somewhere to try and then click back on a different song and there's still no change of meta tags. Please write back if you're still getting this issue.
Comment 7 Marc 2012-02-04 08:07:44 UTC
Hi

I've checked and yes it does still do it.
Found out a couple more things:

Happens only when Metadata Editor is open.
change one thing  then the save changes dialog opens. I click yes and flag it to remember saving all changes.
from then on when clicking on another song it recopies meta data.

It recopies the meta tag for the "artist" from the first song played after a restart of juk.

When deselecting the metadata-editor in the "view" menu the behaviour disappears.

Hope that helps closing in on the bug.

Cheers Marc

Cannot reproduce using current juk from git.

Maybe it has been fixed by e89125a310e408bbccd38e9260ab21624fc5e9df ?
Comment 9 Michael Pyne 2012-07-31 00:11:03 UTC
It would not be that commit as that is relating to code that wasn't available when the bug was reported (and either way is only for an interface to let other programs know what song is playing, none of that code has access to the file itself).
Comment 10 Marc 2012-08-03 07:31:46 UTC
Hy Michael,

Debian is still using 3.4.2 Could it be that it has been fixed with a new version?
What is the actual JUK version?

I may try and install from debian unstable.

Comment 11 Michael Pyne 2012-08-03 21:50:28 UTC
The latest JuK version available is 3.8. It's possible it has been fixed in the meantime, or that it was a taglib bug. (taglib is the library JuK uses to read and update metadata tags for music tracks)
Comment 12 Marc 2012-08-04 14:11:25 UTC
Hi Michael
I'll check with the current build installed from the Debian Repos. and get back to you.
Current version is 3.4.2 in the Debian 6.0 Squeeze stable build.
I'll check with this version and see if I can manage to install JUK in a more recent version on another machine and test.
Cheers Marc
