Someone please fix the 30-character bug

[Mats Ahlgren]

Below is a friendly but urgent suggestion:

Amarok randomly truncates metadata fields (albums, titles, artists, anything) to 30 characters.

I've mentioned this bug before on the mailing list.
It's been posted on bugs.kde.org -- http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=100742 but no one will re-open it.

I've noticed this bug constantly for at least the past 1.5 years, from Amarok 1.2.* (I think?) through 1.4.4!

Metadata corruption is a serious problem and most users would not tolerate it.

This is the last time I'm going to suggest that this serious bug be fixed.

Sincerely,
Mats
