Banshee is ignoring id3 tags?

rated 0 times [ 3] [ 0] / answers: 1 / hits: 1087 / 1 Year ago, sun, april 16, 2023, 1:34:33

I spent a lot of time cleaning up my id3 tags with EasyTag but I don't see that cleanup reflected in Banshee. If I quit EasyTag and re-open it, my work is reflected there. If I open an album and run id3 -l at the command line, I see my work reflected there, too (ie. the tags are right) but I'm still seeing those files listed in Banshee as "Unknown Artist" / "Unknown Album" -- no amount of Rescan Music Library has any affect.

I had the exact same problem. I am using Puddletag to update the id3 tags but doesn't seem that the changes are reflected in Banshee's library even after forcing a "Rescan Music Library".

The only way I've found to make Banshee update the tags is by explicitly removing the files from the library and adding them back: right click on "Music" in the left toolbar under "Libraries", select "Import Media to Library" and select the folder where the files whose id3 tag you've updated are.
