What exaile version?

[Momchil (momchil-xaxo)]

0.3.2

[Jorge Ibáñez (yosoymicerinos)]

Hi,
also have the same problem, using exaile 0.3.2.0. It's a problem handling files with incorrect encoding. There should be an exception handling. For the time being, solved this with the following changes:
--- /usr/local/lib/exaile/xl/collection_old.py 2010-09-21 12:35:23.000000000 +0200
+++ /usr/local/lib/exaile/xl/collection.py 2010-09-21 12:20:35.000000000 +0200
