Description Thomas Lindroth 2006-08-12 12:30:15 UTC 
Version:           SVN revision 572321 (using KDE KDE 3.5.4)
Installed from:    Compiled From Sources
Compiler:          gcc (GCC) 4.1.1 (Gentoo 4.1.1) 
OS:                Linux

I've tried ATF and amarok rescanned my collection. This caused some tags to change. I estimate that aproxametly 25% of my tracks that contain japanese characters was changed but there were also non japanese tracks affected. All non ASCII characters was substituted with a dot and the title and album tags was truncated to ~32 chars. Amarok did no longer recognize these files and the statistics was lost. The bug often work on whole albums but can sometimes leave a single undamaged file in an album and mess up the rest. This is most likely a bug in taglib and might be related to Bug 116504

Talked to reporter, invalid for the moment.
Comment 2 Jeff Mitchell 2006-08-13 19:01:00 UTC 
Talked to reporter again and cleared up some confusion...saw a file, which I'll post...definitely something odd happening.

Thomas -- We're making some progress.  Thanks for the patience.
Comment 5 Jeff Mitchell 2006-08-14 02:06:02 UTC 
This is fixed in TagLib SVN.  If you can try it out it would be great.  You don't have to install it, you can use LD_PRELOAD set to the taglib svn build directory.  I don't see any more problems here (and from conversations with you I saw both your problem and a different one at different points).

The SVN version of taglib works fine. Thanks :)
Comment 7 Jeff Mitchell 2006-08-15 14:35:43 UTC 
Reopening so I can correctly resolve it as fixed.
