In fact, it happens with extended characters (accented letters, ñ, umlauts, Greek, \
Cirylic, Hebrew, Chinese, Japanese... Anything beyond basic Latin set), and only on \
playlist reload (undo-redo, quit and restart, etc.), only with MySQL... But SQLite \
can't process "favourites" routines, nor ratings or scores, so you choose: neat \
playlists or neat statistics.

As I read in various forums, and on comments to other related bugs, this derives from \
developers' decision to stick to UTF8 encoding, but Amarok doesn't read its playlist \
the same way it writes it, hence the playlist scrambling...

I'm a humble desktop user and I'm paying high for LastFM's integration into Amarok \
(the only I wanted of an upgrade), I shall stuck to 1.3.8, but after unsuccesfully \
trying 1.4.1, I'm unable to downgrade... Cons are overtaking pros for me; I've been \
solving a-bug-a-day, and for a permanent newbie, that's too much...

After the so much I've overcome with 1.4.x, the only I ask is to give me back the \
custom encoding checkbox in Preferences; I won't retag my 2k+ collection track by \
track just because a developers' unilateral decision, and because my tracks aren't \
played only with Lnx Amarok, but with other players and platforms, and I know what \
encoding changes do in these cases.
