i lost metadata from a bunch of music when i transferred files from my previous hdd and im trying to fix whatever i can the hard way but rhythmbox gives a "could not open resource for writing" error and crashes when i try to fix the tags on certain songs

doing the same after running rhythmbox in terminal i get the following output:

Code:
(rhythmbox-metadata:26347): GLib-GIO-CRITICAL **: g_output_stream_close: assertion 'G_IS_OUTPUT_STREAM (stream)' failed
Segmentation fault (core dumped)
