Hi Chris, If you get around to hacking UTF-8 support into the python library please post the patch here, so I can include it with the official Debian package. You say you'd preserve current behaviour of the library by default - but does that make sense at all? I don't know the details of ID3v2 if it is defined as UTF-8 then current behaviour is broken IMHO (even if it happens to work in the western world). As you can probably read between the lines of the above, I do packaging, but is not capable of hacking the code itself, so can't be of assistence in fixing this.
