You also have a very long title, in my music collection, EMMS cut all titles short to exactly 30 characters until this afternoon (as well in the tag editor, shown as info-title, as well as in the playlists), and Umlaut ä was shown as Slash 344, Umlaut ö as Slash 366, Umlaut ü as Slash 374.
I tried a little and read again in your very good EMMS manual. Then I found the reason. I thought it must have to do with data import, so I double-checked that and found out I was missing the line (require 'emms-info-mp3info) Also, I changed my line (setq emms-info-functions '(emms-info-native emms-info-mp3info)) to what you have in the manual (add-to-list 'emms-info-functions 'emms-info-mp3info) To see wether the files are imported better now, I needed to empty the database. And I couldn't find a command to do so (emms-cache-reset did something else), so I went into the emms-directory and deleted the file with a strange name. Now the database was gone, and I could import the music files anew, and there they are: all Umlaut letters correct, the titles long and not cut anymore. So my "bugs" where just caused by stupidity on my side, I think. I'm embarrassed. I'm very sorry I stole your time. ----- Ursprüngliche Nachricht vom 18.12.2023 ----- > Titus Müller <m...@titusmueller.de> writes: > >> (2) Since I am German, some MP3s have Umlaut-Letters in their >> title.
