Ubuntu – Rhythmbox (or any music player) doesn’t change songs properties

musicmusic player

I have some songs in my Rhythmbox, but I cannot change their properties, i.e., I cannot write anything in the properties window. It seems to be block or something like that.

I thought that such files are read-only or protected but I change such properties with sudo and nothing changed.

Any idea?

The artist name, album title and other information that you are trying to change are called ID3 tags. You can search the Ubuntu Software Center for id3tag editors and pick whatever you like/prefer and use that to change the information. Most players have that functionality inbuilt, not sure about Rhythmbox(coz I have never used it), but I use Clementine and it allows me to change the ID3 tags as required.
