--- Comment #10 from Karl Ove Hufthammer <karl@huftis.org> ---
Rex, the version of taglib may very well have varied. I now use the latest
official openSUSE versions of the packages, i.e., Amarok 2.6.0 and Taglib 1.8,
and the bug is at least present in these versions.

(The following is not important for the actual bug:)
BTW, the bug manifests itself in a slightly different form than described in my
initial comment. When setting the tags to ‘TitleABCÆØÅ', the wrong encoding
description byte is used, but the tags are also *shown* ‘wrongly' (or really
correctly, as by the ID3 standard), as UTF-8 interpreted as ISO 8859-1 in the
playlist, i.e. with garbled characters. So Amarok is now correctly *reading*
the (wrongly encoded) file, making the bug easier to spot. (The reason from the
different behaviour might perhaps be because the file is not in my collection,
so the tags are read from the file instead of from the collection DB?)
