The tag is wrong. Here's a piece of xxd output of the file: 00000c0: 2154 4954 3200 0000 5500 0000 c598 c3ad !TIT2...U....... The last 4 bytes are the beginning of the title. We see that the byte just before that is 00. That means that the title should be ISO-8859-1-encoded[1]. In fact in id3v2.3 it doesn't even seem possible to have utf-8 encoded strings. Version 2.4 of the spec does support utf-8, but then that 00 should be 03 [2]. Changing 00 to 03 indeed solves the problem for me. According to a forum post [3] easytag can fix this automatically. Regards, Erik Massop / nesciens [1] The Id3v2.3 spec at http://www.id3.org/id3v2.3.0 : "Frames that allow different types of text encoding have a text encoding description byte directly after the frame size. If ISO-8859-1 is used this byte should be $00, if Unicode is used it should be $01." [2] The id3v2.4.0 spec at http://www.id3.org/id3v2.4.0-structure : "Frames that allow different types of text encoding contains a text encoding description byte. Possible encodings: $00 ISO-8859-1 [ISO-8859-1]. Terminated with $00. $01 UTF-16 [UTF-16] encoded Unicode [UNICODE] with BOM. All strings in the same frame SHALL have the same byteorder. Terminated with $00 00. $02 UTF-16BE [UTF-16] encoded Unicode [UNICODE] without BOM. Terminated with $00 00. $03 UTF-8 [UTF-8] encoded Unicode [UNICODE]. Terminated with $00." [3] texray at http://www.musicpd.org/forum/index.php?topic=1552.0;wap2 : "Well, as it turned out, it is the fault of the "id3v2" tool. It was supposed to write the tags in UTF-8, but it didn't. Maybe it doesn't support ID3v2.4 (which is the first version of IDv2 that officially supports UTF-8, according to Wikipedia). I checked with easytag and it it can automatically convert older ID3v2 tags to ID3v2.4, which worked in mpd as expected." -- _______________________________________________ Xmms2-devel mailing list Xmms2-devel@lists.xmms.se http://lists.xmms.se/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/xmms2-devel
