Actually that is only partially correct.

ID3 v2.2: iso-8559-1 only (latin1)
ID3 v2.3: iso-8559-1 or UTF-16
ID3 v2.4: UTF-8 only

I recommend using v2.4 if possible, as there is no ambiguity. iTunes supports
it, as does MP3/Media Rage on the Mac. Easytag on *nix, and probably Tag &
Rename, but I havent tested it.

Excellent Tag&Rename says in their documentation they only write in ID3 v2.3 "for compatability reasons". I need/want 2.4. Thus, I have started investigating other solutions, as my growing mp3 and flac collection contains many non-ascii characters in all sorts of fileds, standard and custom.

tagscanner in under investigation, no verdict yet.
