When you tag with metaflac, it converts the comments from the local charset to UTF-8 (unless you use the --no-utf8-convert option). The problem could either be in the conversion process while tagging, or the displaying process; there's not enough info in your initial report to tell. First I should ask, where do the #s show up? In metaflac --list, in the plugin, in ... ? Also, if you are familiar with UTF-8 you should be able to tell if the problem is in the actual tagging like so: 1. create flac file 2. add a vorbis comment like 'test=zzz<funnychar>zzz' making sure <funnychar> is not ASCII 3. use hexedit to edit the flac file. search for zzz and see what <funnychar> turned out to be; is it a '#' or the true UTF-8 code for <funnychar>?
