--- Begin Message ---Package: id3v2 Version: 0.1.9-1 Severity: minor As my whole system is now UTF-8 aware, I have also re-tagged all my mp3s and oggs. As oggs are currently using UTF-8 by default, I have a problem with mp3 - apparently, no mp3-tagger for linux has implemented setting the encoding flags of the text field - they are all marked as latin1. Of course, I didn't notice this until I have read the specification :( So this is a wish for upstream to implement this feature, possibly both setting and getting the encoding of a particular frame (without the recoding of the frame) to be able to write scripts for automagical tagging. -- System Information: Found unknown policy: ('500', 'sherpya')Debian Release: Nikolai Prokoschenko Special APT prefers experimental APT policy: (990, 'experimental'), (500, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.2-1-k7 Locale: LANG=ru_RU.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=ru_RU.UTF-8 Versions of packages id3v2 depends on: ii libc6 2.3.2.ds1-11 GNU C Library: Shared libraries an ii libgcc1 1:3.3.3-0pre3 GCC support library ii libid3-3.8.3 3.8.3-3 Library for manipulating ID3v1 and ii libstdc++5 1:3.3.3-0pre3 The GNU Standard C++ Library v3 ii zlib1g 1:1.2.1-4 compression library - runtime -- no debconf information

--- Begin Message ---Writing real Unicode tags now works: non-Latin-1 text is stored as UTF-16 automatically with the correct encoding marker, and reading returns it in the locale encoding. An explicit encoding selector such as the proposed -u (UTF-8, text-encoding type 3) is intentionally not added: UTF-8 and UTF-16BE are ID3v2.4 encodings, while id3v2/id3lib writes ID3v2.3.0. For explicit-encoding or ID3v2.4 needs, use mid3v2(1). I'm closing this bug report.
