Hi, There are different encodings used to put hebrew into ID3 tags of MP3 files: * The ID3 Tags contained in your MP3 files can be one of the following: ID3v1, ID3v2.3 or ID3v2.4 which use different character set encoding. ID3v1 specifies no specific character coding and has a limited number of fields with very limited sizes, and is seldom used these days. IDv2.3 is the most common standard in use and uses ISO 8859 1 or UTF-16 character set encoding, here UTF-16 is very common. IDv2.4 is the latest standard and uses UTF-8 character encoding. * All players/firmware combinations support different features. Even desktop-based linux player (Rhythmbox) can't reliably recognize encoding of the ID3 tags. Can someone recommend a different music organizing program (for Linux)?
Is there a page that explains the topic in detail? Don't ID3 have encoding type field? How can I mass-change encoding of the hebrew texts in the ID3 fields? -- Arie
