[Bug 761741] gst-discoverer reports incorrect tag information

[GStreamer (GNOME Bugzilla)]

So far, I have noticed it only on this set of files, from this album.  Most
files report the tag information as I expect, or I would have noticed earlier.

For this album, the reported information seems to be what was provided in the
original files, rather than the tags I have edited.  The files were originally
purchased and downloaded from Amazon.com.  I have removed Amazon's private tag
in an attempt to resolve the problem, but it doesn't help.  I have many files
for which I have edited the tags, from Amazon and other sources.  It has always
seemed to work before.  The problem has led me on a search to see where the
information might be cached, but I have not found that place.

Nothing is particularly special about the files.  They are part of a large
collection, scanned by Rhythmbox.  The location given to Rhythmbox is full of
symlinks, but Rhythmbox resolves them into the actual location of the files. 
That is reported on the property pages.  The Nautilus property pages also
report the information incorrectly when right-clicking on the files.  I imagine
that the two applications are getting it from the same GStreamer source.

The Quod Libet media player that I also use resolves the tags correctly, but it
does not use GStreamer services to read tags.

I am careful not to allow media player applications to modify the tags of audio
files through updates from an online source.  That road leads to despair when a
large collection is to be maintained.
