Lyrics displayed as foreign characters

Created attachment 3240 [details] MP3 file with tags and lyrics A number of my songs with lyrics that display normally in iTunes and other audio software have the lyrics displayed as indecipherable foreign characters. I have attached a file with a song that exhibits the problem.
QA to repro
Unable to reproduce with 7.0.1 - 19705 r2448 / r23 Joe: Can you please re-test with the above (new) release version, if you still see the issue, please re-open the bug. Include step-by-step instructions on how to replicate the error you are seeing.
I just tested with the official 7.0.1 and I get the exact same results. There is no step-by-step. The song is in my iTunes library and the lyrics show up fine. When I browse my music with SqueezeCenter all the other information (title, length, etc) show up correctly but the lyrics show up as foreign characters. I am running 7.0.1 on a MacBook Pro with 10.5.2. My system is accessible from remotely if you want to take a look.
This is a reminder that this bug is to QA for 7.1. Please review these bugs!
QA hasn't had an opportunity to spend more time trying to reproduce this. Retargeting to 7.2 so that it doesn't affect the 7.1 release.
Created attachment 3746 [details] Music>SongInfo>Lyrics OK, I have finally been able to reproduce this issue, I have seen this issue on the WEB UI and Player UI(s) when looking at the Lyrics. The song players fine, just the Lyrics are messed up. See attached screen capture.
I'm glad to hear that. As I mentioned this is easily and consistently reproducible on my system (and has been since version 7.0). I am happy to help test new software when a fix is available.
In XP it's displayed as all boxes, linux shows question marks. This is easily reproduced.
Still a problem in 7.2
Created attachment 4110 [details] Looking good to me in 7.2.1. Still reproducible for you?
No. I tried build 23422 today and I still have the exact same problem. Do you want any additional information?
Yes, please add the server details from Settings/Status, locale etc.
Created attachment 4118 [details] Settings/Status page Here is my Status information. What do you mean by "locale"?
James/Ross - could you please test this file a. when read by importing iTunes data b. when scanning a music folder (with iTunes disabled) Is there a difference?
The 7.2.1 release still has the same problem. Again, if you need any assistance I would be happy to help.
I have been unable to reproduce this issue with the nightly of 7.3 on both Mac OS X and Windows XP. Joe, can you try a nightly of 7.3? Please be sure to do a "Clear library and rescan everything" under basic settings as well after the install has completed. Doing so should force a new scan even though installing 7.3 should trigger one just the same.
I just tried the November 14 nightly and the foreign characters are not a problem any longer. However, line feeds are not working properly and everything appears on one line. (It is correct in Itunes.) You can see the results with the IP address I sent you earlier.
Opened bug 10018 to cover the lack of line breaks in lyrics tags. Resolving this bug as works for me.
Reduce number of active targets for SC
Closing resolved bugs - if you feel this bug still exists please first re-test with the latest SW/FW version. If you are able to reproduce then feel free to reopen and attach new logs / steps to reproduce.
