--- Comment #1 from Urs Fleisch <uflei...@users.sourceforge.net> ---
I also try to have ID3v1 tags on all of my MP3 files and only have ASCII
characters in them. The encodings which are available in the "Tags/Tag 1" tab
(option "Text encoding") of the settings are those provided by QTextCodec, see
https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qtextcodec.html#details. ASCII is not listed there, but
this should be no problem since a lot of the supported encodings share the
first half of their characters with ASCII, so you can take ISO-8859-1 for
example. To find an appropriate encoding, you could use "Text Encoding ID3v1"
from the file list context menu. To reduce the characters in the chosen 8-bit
encoding to ASCII, you will have to replace all characters of the second half
with an appropriate ASCII sequence. I do not know Czech, but I sometimes have
characters with German Umlauts, which I replace using the "String replacement"
table in the "Files" tab of the settings, to do so, I have to generate the file
names from the "Tag 1" tags, I then apply the file name format which uses the
"String replacement" mentioned above ("Tools/Apply Filename Format") - I want
the file names to contain only ASCII characters too - and then I generate the
tags from the file names. This is a bit awkward, but you could use the "String
replacement" table from the "Tags/All Tags" tab in the settings to have the
required transliteration and then use "Tools/Apply Tag Format". The problem
here will be that it will also change the "Tag 2", but you could avoid this by
only checking the "Track Number" row in the "Tag 2" table (having nothing
selected means all is selected), so the translitation will be applied to "Tag
1" and to the "Track Number" of "Tag 2" (which will not change anything since
it contains only numbers).
