[EMAIL PROTECTED] pudge]$ gluedoc iTunes
...
       track (cTrk)
           playable audio source

           Properties:

               album (pAlb/utxt): the album containing the track
               artist (pArt/utxt): the artist/source of the track
...

utxt is UTF-16, but Mac::Glue will get that coerced to plain text on the way 
out normally, and yes, "nonstandard" chars will often end up as '?' or such.  
If you need other options, let me know, we can discuss what you need.
