#8 add unicode support (patch included)

[Anonymous]

Adding unicode support for mp3-files should be pretty
straight forward if you just use python-eyeD3 instead
of pyid3lib.

I've included a modified version of jack_tag.py (from
jack v3.1.1) which already works (for me), but is not
very flexible jet.

I'm afraid it also doesn't fit your programming style,
but I didn't have time to look for the "proper" file
for the import statement.

Again, there are a couple of things still to do, but
with your knowledge of your code this shouldn't take
more than an hour to implement.
TODO:
- check if jack supplies the right format for
tag.setGenre(), otherwise convert it (I couldn't figure
this out myself because jack is not very well
documented; see eyeD3 documenation for which formats it
supports)
- add configuration options for encoding and version of
id3 tags
- possibly get rid of the rest if pyid3lib code and
just use eyeD3 instead (i.e. for v1 tags and in a
couple of hacks that use it to convert genre strings)
- testing, of course

I would be happy if you could implement this in your
next version, again, I don't think this should take
much effort and it would be nice to have unicode
support in jack.

something like this has been done in the Debian package of
jack. Can you give this a go?
