upstream comment:

"Actually, the encoding used in this tag is not WINDOWS-1250, but UTF-8.
However, we fail to detect the UTF-8 correctly because we run g_utf8_validate()
on the entire size allocated for the string within the ID3v1 tag, which
includes zero string terminators in this case, which in turn are not valid
UTF-8, hence g_utf8_validate() fails and the code will fall back to decoding
the string using the current locale. In short, we're displaying garbage
_because_ we're interpreting this string as WINDOWS-1250 :)"
