30 Playing a mp3-file containing no non-ascii characters works OK, but as soon as
31 Amarok tries to play a file containing UTF8 characters it fails. I have found
32 the following KDE bug https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=198008 which is the
33 same problem as I have. I am now "playing" with convmv to see if changing the
34 encoding to/from UTF8 changes anything.
