Description

Audacious doesn't seem to see unmodified audio tags that contain special characters (like accented vowels). If these tags are modified by a tag editor (I use Puddletag), then they appear like normal even if the special character is unchanged.

History

Please provide an example file. Also tell us what version of Audacious you are using, and what your character encoding settings are.

Also see if any messages are printed in the console and copy those here.

WARNING charset.cc:79 [whine_locale]: Cannot convert from locale (UTF-8): M�sica Instrumental Andina

After changing the fallback encoding setting to ISO-8859-1 from UTF-8, everything was fine. Back when 3.5 was released, though, ISO gave me various problems but UTF-8 worked for everything. I wonder why it's different now (I'm on 3.6, but also had this problem on 3.5.2).

Probably related to the problems you had in 3.5:
http://audacious-media-player.org/news/33-character-encoding-bugs-and-workaround

This announcement does also mention that you should keep ISO-8859-1 as a fallback even after updating. You do not need to add UTF-8 as a fallback any more in 3.6; it is always the first option tried, and the bug for which it was a workaround, has been fixed.

P.S. Probably the original tags used ISO-8859-1, and Puddletag re-encodes them using Unicode of some sort.
