Title:
  Quodlibet corrupts sometimes WMA files after editting the tags

Status in “mutagen” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: quodlibet

  I like quodlibet, it is simple, elegant and powerful, but my family
  using Windows hates it.

  We share our music on a network drive. After a week of a number of
  sessions to re-organise our music files and after extensive editing
  the tags, the following problem has been detected.

  On Ubuntu I can play all wma files (variable bit rate) both with
  Rythmbox and Quodlibet.

  On windows a large number of files that I have updated cannot be
  played any more not with WMP11, WMP9 or WINAMP 5.6. dependent on the
  file and player, they do not show up at all in the media library or
  show up as expected and updated, but refuse to play. Which is also
  true after a clean install of WMP or WINAMP.

  Note that Quodlibet for Windows can play all wma files too, like its
  Linux version. Note also that all other users only have read access to
  the music. Sometimes a whole album is corrupted and sometimes only a
  part of it. I live in the Dominican Republic so I have 1-3 power
  breaks per day, but I do not expect it to cause the problem, since it
  could mean loosing an update or set of updates, but I do not see how
  that could corrupt e.g. a whole album in the way as described.

  I will attach a corrupted file. If needed I have other examples and
  even the back-ups from before they were corrupted. I use Ubuntu 10.10
  daily updated and Quodlibet 2.2.1-1.
