I've added a new CD to my collection and as the track information is somewhat lacking, I tried to edit it. This I have done previously on many other tracks.
The entries do not change at all - just go back to what they wer.

The system is on Ubuntu Linux 20.04and the file permissions are set to 777.

I've just noticed in another post that if I right click a track I can edit the information - the options 'Edit Track' 'Edit Tag' and 'Complete tags' do not appear on the new CD when I right click any track

Regards

Alex

Look at the file names on a regular file browser [nautilus]
There are just some things the built in tag editor on clementine has trouble with  
I use Easytag, does all the fields, clementine misses a few, including changing the file names 
You will find it in the ubun repository  
I'm sure other tag editors will also work

Thought the problem may have been that I converted the format of the files to FLAC.

Easytag complained there was a problem with the files

Started again and copied directly from the CD - WAV format - all copied OK

All edited OK :-)

Easytag seems not to edit WAV files though?

Anyhoo, that's my problem solved - thanks for the reply
