Does it work? Playing a mp3-file containing no non-ascii characters works OK, but as soon as Amarok tries to play a file containing UTF8 characters it fails. I have found the following KDE bug https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=198008 which is the same problem as I have. I am now "playing" with convmv to see if changing the encoding to/from UTF8 changes anything.
