ID3 or ID3v2 tags do not display non-ascii characters properly

Binary package hint: banshee

This looks like reading windows encodings as utf-8, for example, the playlist shows 'Así es el calor' instead of 'Así es el calor'.

Please could you run in a terminal "banshee --debug" and attach all the output information to your report (following same steps to reproduce this issue), Thanks.

Could you attach a sample file that has such encoding problems, please?

Here are the requested files: a screenshot, log and sample file, sorry for the delay.

PS: Wether I like or not this music is not relevant for this discussion :P

I'm closing this as invalid, as the files were tagged wrongly, as described in the comment in the upstream bug as shown here: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=639585#c1
