Well, a couple of the tracks have accented characters in their titles,
though most don't. All I can find in BZ is
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=172542, which doesn't mention
anything about special chars.

I tried changing the filenames to eliminate accents and spaces. This
made no difference, even restarting Amarok several times.

I reversed the above and tried a complete rescan (from the Settings
menu). That seems to have done the trick.
