Using KDE 3.5.1 installed from KDE-RedHat.sf.net, on CentOS 4 (RHEL4).
taglib-1.4-1.2.el4.rf, id3lib-3.8.3-7.2.el4.rf, kfile_mp3 is in the right place, and testing on MP3 files that have ID3 tags.

I am experiencing this problem.

This is a raw ID3 display:

$ id3info R.E.M.\ -\ 01\ -\ Drive.mp3

*** Tag information for R.E.M. - 01 - Drive.mp3
=== TIT2 (Title/songname/content description): Drive
=== TPE1 (Lead performer(s)/Soloist(s)): R.E.M.
=== TALB (Album/Movie/Show title): Automatic For The People
=== TYER (Year): 1992
=== COMM (Comments): ()[XXX]:  YEAR: 1992 ID3G: 17
=== TCON (Content type): rock
=== TRCK (Track number/Position in set): 1
=== COMM (Comments): (ID3v1 Comment)[XXX]:  YEAR: 1992 ID3G: 17
*** mp3 info
MPEG1/layer III
Bitrate: 192KBps
Frequency: 44KHz


In contrast with the (pretty empty) kfile output:

$ kfile -av R.E.M.\ -\ 01\ -\ Drive.mp3
R.E.M. - 01 - Drive.mp3: MPEG Layer 3 Audio (audio/x-mp3)
-- /mnt/media/Musica/Novo/R.E.M/R.E.M. - Automatic For The People 192 Kbps/R.E.M. - 01 - Drive.mp3
=All Values=
General:                 Name:                    (no value for key available)


This is reflected to the way Konqueror display metainfo in the 'Info List View'.

I have exactly the same problem for Ogg files.
