Version: 2.2-GIT (using 4.3.1 (KDE 4.3.1) "release 169", KDE:KDE4:Factory:Desktop / openSUSE_11.1) Compiler: gcc OS: Linux (x86_64) release 2.6.27.29-0.1-default When I put a japanese CD Amarok displays only ???? and not japanese characters. I test this with 雨天決行 by 高田梢枝 and the CD ID is 0x3d6130c (obtained using Audex who reads songs correctly). Seems to be another bad encoding detection bug.

Myriam, are you sure?. Bug 200596 was reported by me and is related to read ID3 tags. This one is relate to a real CD with a different infrastructure and reading method. And I compiled Amarok with Cesar García patch and the patch don't solves this problem but fix ID3 encoding detection bug. Probably is a bug in encoding detection, there is more in other parts in Amarok, for example in Shoutcast streams, but not all are the same bug :).
Myriam, any news
Myriam, I reactivate this bug again for reason explained in comment #2.
(In reply to comment #4) > Myriam, I reactivate this bug again for reason explained in comment #2. OK, there is just nothing I can do about that, and Peter is already very busy.
Could you please upgrade to a newer Amarok version and test again? Current is Amarok 2.4.0, Amarok 2.4.1 is to be released tomorrow. Please report back.
Bug is not fixed in 2.4.0 version. I don't use Amarok anymore but I will try to test this bug at least in 2.4.1 when packages will be available.
Rhank you for the fast feedback.
This is an automated message from the triager: Amarok 2.4.1 has been released on May 8 already. Could you please upgrade and test if you can still reproduce this bug? Without feedback within a month we will close this bug as resolved. Thank you for your understanding.
Bug still not fixed in Amarok 2.4.1. I done the test with the Japanese CD and additionally with a Korean CD: 雨天決行 (Takada Kozue) - 高田梢枝 (Uten Kekkou), the Japanese one http://www.yesasia.com/global/uten-kekko-japan-version/1004941751-0-0-0-en/info.html Brown Eyed Girls - Brown Eyed Girls 1st : Your Story:, the korean one http://www.last.fm/music/Brown+Eyed+Girls/Your+Story
Thank you for the fast feedback :)
Setting appropriate component. Reporters, 2.5 and 2.6 beta was released, can you please test the bug is still there and reopen if yes? Thanks.
Again, bug it's not magically fixed.
I presume this is still valid with Amarok 2.7?
Yes
What is the status on this one in 2.8?
The same
Created attachment 88233 [details] Bug screenshot Audex working right and Amarok failing with encoding.
Bug was not fixed
Thank you for the feedback. I had a similar problem in the past with a Russian CD not displaying the Cyrillic characters correctly, might be the same bug: bug 320388
