Description Pedro Villavicencio 2009-11-03 15:07:34 UTC 
this report has been filed here:

https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/rhythmbox/+bug/149765

rhythmbox version is 0.12.5

"As far as I understand the thing is that a lot of mp3's id3 tags are encoded in windows-1251 not in unicode. and most players do not detect local encodings. this is also valid for at least amarok, totem and nautilus (file properties, "Audio" tab). Audacious has an option to autodetect local encodings and it also allows to input default encoding."

I can confirm it, this bug is a pain for Russian users.
Comment 2 Christophe Fergeau 2009-11-03 15:28:52 UTC 
cp1251 is not a valid encoding for id3v2 tags, rhythmbox won't support randomly broken tags (there's already a duplicate bug report about that). The GST_ID3_TAG_ENCODING environment variable can be used to workaround this issue if you really don't want to fix your tags.
Comment 3 Dmitriy Tantsur 2009-11-03 17:45:29 UTC 
cp1251 is a standart for Russian tags. We are not glad about it but it's the case.

Ok, I'll use GST_ID3_TAG_ENCODING if you really don't want to fix your program (or better use normal players like Audacious)
