** Description changed:

  Binary package hint: rhythmbox
  
  When moving files to my Sony Ericsson K850i via Rhythmbox's MTP
  functionality, the metadata is encoded in a way that the device does not
  seem to like. (This is when Rhythmbox converts FLACs to MP3 on-the-fly.)
  
  Example: "Push", "Strange World (2000 Remake)" goes to "Pu", "Strange
  World (20".
  
  This is observable both when playing music back off the device in MTP
- mode and when browsing on the phone itself.
+ mode and when browsing on the phone itself. (I guess, in MTP mode the
+ software on the phone itself parses the metadata.)
  
  Looking at the files over UMS mode shows that the metadata is intact as
  far as GStreamer is concerned.

+ It seems the bug is in Sony Ericsson's parsing of ID3v2.4 tags. Version
+ 2.4 tags may not actually be supported, and there is no way to force
+ Rhythmbox to use (the more widely supported) 2.3 because taglib
+ apparently doesn't support it.
