If you have a mix of mp3 files with id3v1 tag in ISO-8859-1 and other mp3 files with id3v1 tag in KOI8-R, the only way to display both kinds of tags correctly *simultaneously*(in a single xmms session) is to convert both tags to UTF-8 and run xmms under UTF-8 locale. One problem with this is that most portable mp3 players in the market can't handle UTF-8 although they support a dozen or more languages. Consequently, you may have to reconvert id3v1 tags in your mp3 files if you need to store them in portable mp3 players. They shpport multiple languages by assuming that there's a one-to-one correspondence between languages and encodings. This is plainly wrong, but there's not much they can do given that id3v1 tag does not have any means of indicating which encoding is used and for the vast majority of mp3 files circulated and made on the net the aforementioned one-to-one mapping is valid. BTW, id3v2 tags don't have this problem. We can just hope that id3v2 will be widely used soon and a new generations of mp3 portable players will support it. BTW, a number of PDAs, mobile phones and other devices might share the problem arising from the misguided assumption that languages/scripts and encodings are tightly bound to each other(the same is true of stupid web mail services like Hotmail, Yahoo mail, etc). Hopefully, more wide use of Linux in those devices and better UTF-8 support in Linux will change the situation.

mp3-tags, zip-archives, tool to convert filenames to UTF
Hello, a few questions: 1) I have some mp3-Files with ID3-Tag, most of these files use the ISO-8859-1 encoding, but some use a russian encoding. Which programms can display the russian ID3-Tags? I have tried XMMS, but with no success. Is there a way to convert all ID3-Tags to Unicode? How does ogg-Vorbis handle this issue? 2) Now that I have set my locales to de_DE.uft8 I could use a tool that converts filenames (mostly 8859-1, some russian) to unicode? Where can I find/get such a tool? 3) Do .zip Files store the encoding of the filenames somewhere and will unzip convert the encodings to utf8? How about uft8 and the other packers/archivers (tar,ace,rar)? Are there any known problems? Regards and TIA, Helge -- Linux-UTF8: i18n of Linux on all levels Archive: http://mail.nl.linux.org/linux-utf8/
