https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=3D225055 --- Comment #3 from Anton Yuzhaninov <citrin+pr@citrin.ru> --- I've looked at my mp3 file written by mp3splt in hd(1) - unfortunately I haven't found a more usable tool which can show all relevant information. In a hex dump I can see: 1. mp3splt writes ID3 V2.4.0 tags 2. text frames contain encoding description byte $01 (UTF-16 with BOM) foll= owed by BOM $feff (big endian) and then followed by text encoded in UTF-16 BE. So as I can see this ID3 tag confirms ID3 specification. Only issue I can s= ee - mp3splt always writes TIT2, TPE1, TALB, TCON frames in UTF-16 encoding, even when the text can be represented as ISO-8859-1 or even ASCII. Probably your hardware player doesn't support UTF-16/UCS-2 and expects all strings to be in ISO-8859-1. For better compatibility with incomplete player implementations we can chec= k if text can be encoded as ISO-8859-1 and use $00 text description byte (ISO-8859-1) with text in ISO-8859-1. But I'm not sure where it is better to implement this auto-detection: in mp3splt or in libid3tag (library used by mp3splt for writing tags). Unfortunately libid3tag is also not actively developed - last release was in 2004. I think -C 8 (utf-8) works for this player only by accident - ASCII text in UTF-8 and ISO-8859-1 are the same sequence of bytes. Changing default optio= n to -C 8 is a bad option - there are implementations (players) which support UT= F-16 (present V2.2.0), but not UTF-8 (was added only in V2.4.0). --=20 You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.=
