ID3v2.3 tags can use UTF-16 and ISO_8859_1
ID3v2.4 tags ar e less compatible with many devices, and can use UTF-8, UTF-16 and ISO_8859_1
Grip does ID3v2.3 tags (or so they say they are) but it does them in UTF-8 (when typing in UTF-16 the stuff in the tags are garbled), how is that even possible?
Full Version: Whats with Grip's ID3v2 tags?

Because of how the encoding value is stored, it's possible to set it to UTF-8 in ID3v2.3 Most parsers would error out on an unrecognized value, but it's highly likely that an id3v2.4-capable parser (like iTunes, Winamp or Foobar) would understand it and proceed normally.
