On further investigation, I find that streamripper on my work machine
writes tags that mplayer and easytag can see, but on my home machine,
neither program can see the ID3 data. At home I ran:
streamripper http://www.jazzexcursion.com/listen64.m3u -d
/srv/music/0-incoming/ -M 20
At work I ran:
streamripper http://www.jazzexcursion.com/listen64.m3u -M 25
In both cases file(1) reports the file type as "Audio file with ID3
version 23.0 tag, MP3 encoding". In both cases locale(1) (with no
arguments) emits the following:
$ locale
LANG=en_AU.utf8
