ID3 tag editing (i.e. for MP3s) has been working fairly well for people for a while. If you have gstreamer-plugins-good 0.10.3 or earlier, be aware that using RB's tag-editing will lose any tags that GStreamer doesn't know about, such as "composer" etc. That is fixed if you have -good 0.10.4. Ogg Vorbis tag editing requires a GStreamer plugin that isn't in cvs yet. Hopefully I can get it in soon. > Second: what character encoding should I use in my tags?

As long as the file is correctly tagged to say what character encoding it is using, RB can read it - but be aware there are several tag editing programs that are broken in relation to this. RB itself will write tags in UTF-8.
