Bug Description

Binary package hint: soundconverter

(hardy alpha 2 x86) I think it's crashing because of ".m4a" files. but it never actually closed down it stayed opened and the pop up boxes say it has crashed. also it won't convert ".m4a" files

Gautier, can you please take a look at this? We have several duplicates, and it's reproducible with at least 0.9.[89].

It still occurs with the latest 0.9.99 version

I am pretty sure this isn't a correct fix, just a workaround I am using. It doesn't seem to have an adverse affect on my tags.

Line 260 of /usr/bin/soundconverter:
tag = ", ".join(tag[:-1]) + " & " + tag[-1]
This gets rid of the error for me:
tag = tag[-1]

I should have added this in my last comment, sorry: I was trying to see what was different with the files that would throw up that error when it was loading their tag and they all had some sort of special character in the album field on their tag such as: CD (1) or [soundtrack].

Here is a creative commons license song that crashes for me, it has a set of parentheses in its album section in the tag.
