Instead decode using this charset: CP1251

and Playlist.

zillionth duplicate. Also I reckon your id3v1 tags are encoded wrongly or something. If not gimme a patch as I am fed up trying to fix this stuff.

Comment 2 Andy Igoshin 2005-03-30 20:02:26 UTC

the same for amarok 1.2.3

Comment 3 Andy Igoshin 2005-03-30 20:05:38 UTC

mp3 files has a ID3v2 tag

ID3v1 -- off
Shoutcast metadata -- checked 
Instead decode using this charset: CP1251

-- the same problem fo amarok 1.2.3.

Comment 4 Andy Igoshin 2005-03-31 14:36:40 UTC

Ok. I tested again.

1.
mp3 file with ID3v1 (& ID3v2) tag
ID3v1 -- on 
Shoutcast metadata -- on
Instead decode using this charset: CP1251

Working Ok!

2.
mp3 file with ID3v2 tag
Instead decode using this charset: CP1251

Not displayed correctly.

I think, the problem address to taglib. -- taglib do not have a 'setStringHandler' method for ID3v2 tags and interpret them codepage
as latin1.

Comment 5 shattered 2005-11-12 21:48:17 UTC

Software must use UTF-8 or UTF-16 encoding to store anything but Latin-1 characters in ID3v2 tags, and not abuse the standard by putting CP1251 into fields marked 'Latin-1'.  If certain players do not support ID3v2 completely, they should be fixed, not amaroK.

Comment 6 Seb Ruiz 2005-11-18 08:59:43 UTC

tag recoding has been removed from amaroK

too many associated problems with it.
