Description Coudy 2009-07-31 06:52:34 UTC 
I'm using banshee to copy my mp3 files to my Samsung YP-U3 player. 
Banshee corrupt ID3 tags. On mp3 player I see chinese characters. I'm from Central Europe. When I copy same song over gnomad2, then ID3 tag are ok. 
This bug exist in Banshee 1.4.3 and 1.5.0 too. I have created mp3 and ogg files for test. It is only 30s long 1khz tone.

Bulk changing the assignee to banshee-maint@gnome.bugs to make it easier for people to get updated on all banshee bugs by following that address.  It's usually quite apparent who is working on a given bug by the comments and/or patches attached.
Comment 2 Alexander Kojevnikov 2010-03-11 08:23:59 UTC 
The tags themselves look fine, the text fields are properly utf-8 encoded with the correct flag value set. The error is probably in libmtp or in the way Banshee uses it. Sorry I cannot dig into it further as I don't have an mtp device.
Comment 3 Alan McGovern 2010-09-16 20:59:58 UTC 
Everything works fine with those files for me. I can only assume it was a libmtp or taglib# bug which has been fixed.
Comment 4 Coudy 2010-09-17 13:09:38 UTC 
I'm still affected with this bug. Is there any way how to debug this bug ?
Comment 5 Alan McGovern 2010-09-17 13:23:59 UTC 
Unfortunately there's not too much you can do other than attaching the GDB debugger to a running banshee process and putting a breakpoint on the libmtp function "LIBMTP_Send_Track_From_File" (or something like that) and printout out the metadata there. If it shows up fine there, it's definitely not a banshee bug.
