It is completely out of spec to store non-UTF8 in a vorbiscomment. That said I've run into this before and I think something like the following worked: for $f in *.ogg; do vorbiscomment -l "$f" | iconv -f latin1 -t utf8 | vorbiscomment -w "$f" done I'd try this out on some copies first, or at least save the old invalid tags as best as you can. As for whether QL/EF should notify the user of files which have invalid tags, it's up for debate. Sometimes I think a log of such failures would be nice, but that's a lot of infrastructure for a feature that I would hope to rarely have used.
