Hi All, 

The issue can be reproduced in the attached songs(Please extract the rar files, it has 2 songs).

Comment 8

Jim, 

Is this something that your encoding work will fix, maybe?

Comment 9

[David Flanagan [:djf]]

Jim,

Alternatively, if you can confirm that this is an Asian encoding issue, maybe we can push back on the leo+ flag with the argument that it won't be an issue in our 1.1 markets.

[Jim Porter (:squib)]

Comment 9 is correct. The id3 tag in the bad mp3 is invalid and claims to be using latin-1 encoding, when it definitely isn't. Since we're not launching in Asia yet, this almost certainly doesn't need to block.

In any case, it's a dupe of an earlier bug.

[Jim Porter (:squib)]

That said, while I don't think this should block (yet), I'll certainly help anyone who wants to implement this now, since it would be a nice thing to have for dogfooders in Asia.
