Hi everyone,<br><br>I'm now writing a script to fix the encoding problems of Amarok. We already had the encoding detector implemented, but it is not able to detector the encodings for a 100% correctness. The encoding problem only exists for non-UTF-8 mp3 id3v1 tags, and the detector has around 80%-90% correctness for now.<br>
<br>My script will target for the remaining 20% tracks. The idea is: The script will choose one of the potential encoding, and decode the track. Then use the result to check with the online databases. If positive results are given back, then the encoding is right, or the script will choose another encodings.<br>
<br>The user should be able to open a configuration dialog to select one or several of the databases they want. Now, LyricsWiki is good for English tracks but not sufficient enough for some mid-east, or Asian languages. <br>
<br>For example, <a href="http://mp3.sogou.com/music.so?query=Track">http://mp3.sogou.com/music.so?query=Track</a> Name<br>is the right URL for check the Chinese track names.<br><br><br>Let me know if you have any idea about the local music database engines. Give me some urls of the famous ones. For people who is suffering the encoding problems, this is the time to fix it :)<br>
