Hi,
I just copied 15 GB of Music from my Slackware install over to my laptop running CentOS. Everything's running fine, except a few minor quirks. About 10 to 15% of the 4.000 songs in my collection seem to have broken ID3 tags in XMMS. In the playlist window, there are only truncated fields of a few random letters appearing.
But when I right-click on one of these songs, the ID3 info is displayed correctly... that is, in the ID 3 window. I can save as much as I can, the info in the ID3 window stays the same.
Any suggestion for that?
Niki

Do the id3 tags contain UTF-8 specific characters such as an umlaut (sp?) or other such things?

I'll answer that myself, I just found out: simply convert all the ID3v2 tags to ID3v1. A few clicks with EasyTag.
