Thanks for your report.

I remember that Amarok had code to guess the encoding of tags. I believe that KFileMetaData frameworks that is used by Elisa does not have that.

Could you try to have a look at those tracks directly with Dolphin ?

Dolphin is using the same framework to get the Description tag of a music track.

Changing to NEEDSINFO status as recommended

New information was added; changing status for inspection. If this is an issue in a lower level framework (e.g. KFileMetadata), please reassign.

I am not sure what we can do about that.

Is there a generic way to notify the maintainer of KFileMetaData for advice on this (and without reassigning) ?
