There was some discussion on the list yesterday wrt cleaning MythMusic's 
db. It seems like just emptying the music collection and doing a rescan 
is not enough. You also need to truncate the corresponding db entries 
(music_{songs,artists,albums,genres}). I used phpMyAdmin to do that. 
After enabling the collection and a rescan everything was there, 
including the albums with umlauts.
