Please check that you have write permissions to the file in question.
Tried that already. I even tried 666 but that didn't help. Sometimes it allows me to change the text in the dialog box but when I press save, it says failed to save metadata.
You need to enable chardet if your ID3 tags are non-UTF8. If the encoding is not recognised, it will not allow you to save as that would corrupt your files. (And then you'd file me bugs about *that*)
I tried enabling chardet and disabling chardet. I can't even edit regular english characters. The save button is grayed out and most of the time I can't type anything and even if I could, it won't let me save.
Same issue here. I'm in doubt that is in the media file issue, because the same file is editable by amarok, for example(I'm proud that I'm may be the only one who uses amarok only for tag edition and nothing else...). Even with 777 permissions audacious returns "Update metadata failed." and here is output when I start it in terminal and click the magical "Save" button in the tag editor: (audacious:20460): GLib-GIO-CRITICAL **: g_output_stream_write: assertion `G_IS_OUTPUT_STREAM (stream)' failed (audacious:20460): GLib-GIO-CRITICAL **: g_output_stream_write: assertion `G_IS_OUTPUT_STREAM (stream)' failed

Stable x86, up to date. Anything we can do to help debugging?
A patch has been committed upstream which may help, I am combining your report. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 282637 ***
