Package: rhythmbox
Version: 0.9.3.1-1
Severity: normal

Rhythmbox crashes when importing certain mp3 files.

I have identified which mp3 files cause Rhythmbox to crash. They are playable in VLC. When i launch VLC from gnome-terminal to play 
these files i see the following error message:

(.:12489): Pango-WARNING **: Invalid UTF-8 string passed to pango_layout_set_text()

Viewing their meta-info in VLC shows unrecognized characters. A screenshot is available at:

I am able to import these files using Rhythmbox 0.9.1 on Ubuntu Breezy without any problems, with id3 tag information displaying 
normally. I am able to import these files in Rhythmbox 0.9.3.1-1 on Debian Sid only after deleting the id3 tags, otherwise Rhythmbox 
will crash.
