Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: rhythmbox
Bugs similar to this one have been reported a few times but this is not
the same as the other bugs. I have some songs in my music library that
have Japanese characters which are stored in the Id3 tag as unicode
characters and Rhythmbox fails to recognize and properly display them.
Instead of the Japanese character Rhythmbox display a square with some
small numbers inside (which i presume are the characters code) I have
tried to re tag the mp3 files a couple of times but Rhythmbox still
display them wrong. Here's what I have done.
1. I though that it may be a encoding error caused by Winamp so I went back to
Windows and re-tagged the songs with the Windows Explorer. It didn't solve the
problem.
2. I though it wold be solved if I re-tagged the songs from within Rhythmbox so
I re-tagged all songs and they displayed OK in that session. I closed Rhythmbox
and opened it again and the wrong displayed characters were back in place.
3. I used cowbell to re-tag the songs (although in cowbell the characters were
properly displayed) and Rhythmbox still displays them wrong.
4. I removed the files from the music library and imported them again. Still
the characters were not show properly.
I attached a Screenshot of this behavior, from left to right; 1)
Rhytmbox on each start. 2) Rhytmbox after re-tagging the songs with it,
3) Cowbell with the same album loaded.
This might also be related to another bug I noticed when I re-tagged
some other songs. I re-tagged some songs using Rhythmbox and replaced
some romaji for the corresponding Japanese characters and it displayed
well for that session when i restarted Rhytmbox it displayed the songs
with romaji again but if I open the songs with cowbell it shows me the
Japanese characters I put in tags with Rhytmbox this looks to me that
Rhythmbox doesn't refresh the songs tags when it starts but instead it
just keep the tags it had in it's database which is undesirable.
I hope this get fixed soon.
