Title:
  Rhythmbox fails to recognize all unicode characters

Status in “rhythmbox” package in Ubuntu:
  Expired

Bug description:
  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.

  Ubuntu 10.10
  Rhythmbox 0.13.1-0ubuntu6
