It's true, UTF8 isn't working right in some cases. At least for filenames in UTF8 from a NTFS partition.

Hi Mika,

Indeed, the issue was with the version 1 tags that are not in UTF.
When I edited files to add version 2.3 tags, Rhythmbox started to
understand the titles etc correctly.

The only problem (I haven't yet studied it thoroughly) is whether
Rhythmbox will use file name (in UTF) in case there are no tags at
all.

Thanks and sorry for the wasted time.

With all respect,

Konstantin
