I may be mistaken, but the way I read the code, the "ENCODING" field that is set using locale.getpreferredencoding as mentioned above only affects the filename encoding (option "--fs-encoding").
On the other hand, eyeD3 seems to be quite limited regarding tags that are not encoded with the default LATIN1. The "--set-encoding" option allows writing UTF8, but it doesn't seem to affect the way tags are parsed, so calling eyeD3 on a file with UTF8-encoded tags, it fails with an error like "'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0xc3 in position 1: ordinal not in range(128)". This is 0.6.16 -- should I file a new report for this slightly different issue instead?
