Hy everybody,

im looking for a command line tool which can add id3v1 tags encoded in utf-8 into a mp3 file.


best wishes

The ID3v1 fields are nowhere long enough to store anything sensible using two byte characters.

ID3v1 can only handle US ASCII. If you must have UTF-8, you must use ID3v2 2.4 or APEv2.

... but are you sure you need UTF-8? Usually, programs on Windows can deal with non-ASCII ID3v1 encoded in the system codepage.

I don't think ID3v1 allows UTF-8 at all.

Why do you need it?
