Title:
  Files transferred to K850i have truncated metadata

Status in “rhythmbox” package in Ubuntu:
  Expired

Bug description:
  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. (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.
