           Summary: mp3 file contents replaced with zeros when editing tags
           Product: amarok
           Version: 1.2.3
          Platform: Gentoo Packages
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: amarok-bugs-dist lists sourceforge net
        ReportedBy: abenea gmail com


Version:           1.2.3 (using KDE KDE 3.4.0)
Installed from:    Gentoo Packages
Compiler:          gcc version 3.3.5 
OS:                Linux

I edited some tags using "Write 'blahblahblah' For Selected Tracks" and I lost the \
contents of some files. I think this bug relates to the collection not being updated \
properly.

I downloaded some songs, lets call them NEW. These songs (NEW) didn't have a tag. \
Amarok guessed Artist and Song quite well an I replaced the Album tag. After I used \
"Write..." on them I discovered that the tags were written to other files (lets call \
them OLD) in a totally different location and the file contents was binary zeros... I \
right-clicked one of those files, and "View/Edit Meta Information" confirmed the path \
of the files was OLD.

You can imagine how frustrating this can be (I lost one of my favourite's band \
albums...).

1. Could you please add a safety-check somewhere?
2. Could you include some write-protection option? I don't want to be bitten by this \
crappy tag editor feature again... 3. Maybe a bug in the tagging library?
