Yeah, several command line id3 tools read the tag as Unicode (id3v2 being=
 one).
 Playing around with this has also made me think that Gstreamer apps (lik=
e
Rhythmbox and Nautilis) are using the id3v1 tag for display.  And accordi=
ng to
some notes I was reading in Easytag (the app I use to edit tags), it says=
 that
id3v1 tags are always saved as single-byte.  So doesn't that mean basical=
ly the
id3v1 tags will never fully support Chinese (which requires double-byte)?=
=20
Thus, the problem is not so much about reading it wrong (I guess Gstreame=
r
reads id3v1 as single-byte as it technically "should") but rather that it=
 would
be better to be using the id3v2 tag for display?  At least, it seems that=
 it
should first look for id3v2 and if it doesn't exist then resort to the id=
3v1?=20
Feel free to correct me if I have muddled up everything here...I'm just a=
 user,
not a developer.
