Rhythmbox error while saving song information: Could not multiplex stream

Question

I play a lot of .ra or .rm files in Rhythmbox. It plays fine but when I try to edit with the property box it says:

Error while saving song information
Could not multiplex stream.

But it works fine with other file types.

My system is Mint 12 (32bit) with Cinnamon desk top, and 2.90.1 Rhythmbox 2.90.1

Answer 1

In Rhythmbox 3.4.2 on Linux Mint I get

Error while saving song information
Internal data stream error

I help myself by lossless conversion of all files in the directory, e.g. from .aac to .m4a

To do so,

• cd to the directory
• run

find . -exec ffmpeg -i {} -acodec copy {}.m4a \;
