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.
the same for amarok 1.2.3
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.
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.
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.
tag recoding has been removed from amaroK too many associated problems with it.
