Hello Mike, thanks for taking the time to add your comment.
I have a text file that is already UTF8 encoded. I suppose that I really
need to discover exactly how one reads and/or writes text strings in
such a way that double-byte characters (like Simplified Chinese Hanzi,
for example) get correctly displayed within an MP3 tag.
At the moment I am using Mp3_Id, a PEAR extension, which is working just
fine, but isn't receiving string data in the right format to display
Chinese characters within tag values.
I suspect that the answer to this issue is very straightforward. But I
am buggered if I know what it is!
Thanks again for responding, all the same. I do appreciate it!
