Interestingly, while MixMeister has written all the BPM info to my music
files, it's not being picked up by SlimServer.

Having just looked at one of the files in a hex editor it appears that
the BPM info is kinda "double-spaced", so I'm guessing it's been
written in unicode?

Here are the hex values, and corresponding characters (where
appropriate) for a track's 126.02 BPM tag. Does my unicode theory look
correct?

54 42 50 4D 00 00 00 11 00 00 01 FF FE 31 00 32 00 36 00 2E 00 30 00 32
00
T  B  P  M  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  .  1  .  2  .  6  .  .  .  0  .  2 
.

I assume that SlimServer supports unicode tags, and guess that the
specific problem in this instance is that the BPM tags are different to
my other tags (as they have been written using MP3 Tag following the
"ID3v2.3 ISO-8859-1" format as recommended in the SlimDevices wiki) and
so are confusing SlimServer?

Any views on the best solution?

Find a different piece of software that writes tags in non-unicode
(whatever that's called!)?

Change all my ID3 tags to unicode, either using "ID3v2.3 UTF-16" or
"ID3v2.4 UTF-8"?
