Package: rhythmbox
Version: 0.9.8-4
Severity: normal
Hi,
I noticed I only see broken non-ASCII characters (e.g. german umlauts) for
some tracks. Here is an example:
$ id3v2 -a "täst" foo.mp3
$ id3v2 -l foo.mp3
id3v1 tag info for foo.mp3:
Title : Artist: täst
Album : Year: , Genre: Unknown (255)
Comment: Track: 0
Mpg123 correctly shows the artist name:
$ mpg123 foo.mp3
High Performance MPEG 1.0/2.0/2.5 Audio Player for Layers 1, 2 and 3
version 0.61; written and copyright by Michael Hipp and others
free software (LGPL/GPL) without any warranty but with best wishes
Directory: /home/storage/music/
Playing MPEG stream 1 of 1: foo.mp3 ...
Title:
Artist: täst
Album:
Year:
Genre: Unknown
Comment:
XMMS also gets the artist name right:

But rhythmbox fails:

I looks like the UTF8 umlaut is decoded as ISO8859-1:
$ locale
LANG=
LC_CTYPE=de_DE.UTF-8
LC_NUMERIC="POSIX"
LC_TIME="POSIX"
LC_COLLATE="POSIX"
LC_MONETARY="POSIX"
LC_MESSAGES="POSIX"
LC_PAPER="POSIX"
LC_NAME="POSIX"
LC_ADDRESS="POSIX"
LC_TELEPHONE="POSIX"
LC_MEASUREMENT="POSIX"
LC_IDENTIFICATION="POSIX"
LC_ALL=
$ echo täst | iconv -f iso8859-1 -t utf8
täst
This is the track information in rhythmdb.xml:
<entry type="song">
<title>foo.mp3</title>
<genre>Unknown</genre>
<artist>täst</artist>
<album>Unknown</album>
<duration>2</duration>
<file-size>12416</file-size>
<location>file:///home/storage/music/foo.mp3</location>
<mountpoint>file:///home/storage</mountpoint>
<mtime>1175105492</mtime>
<first-seen>1175105510</first-seen>
<last-seen>1175105511</last-seen>
<bitrate>32</bitrate>
<date>0</date>
<mimetype>application/x-id3</mimetype>
<mb-trackid></mb-trackid>
</entry>
You can access the mp3 file here:
http://tikei.de/foo.mp3
Note that this is only the case for some files that are tagged on my
computer with id3v2. Other files that were tagged in Windows have correct
umlauts.
Regards,
Tino
