easytag-2.1-alt1 id3lib-3.8.3-alt5 Very often you get files with tags in CP1251, a non-standard encoding for tags. Fortunately, easytag is able to read fields in non-standard encodings -- menu "Scanner" > "Process Fields" > "Options" > "ID3 Tag Settings" > "Use non standard character set for reading ID3 tags". Usually this feature works, but it doesn't work for some files, e.g., http://baza.com/audio/2005-live-in-san-francisco/04-vse-napominaet-o-tebe.mp3 . Probably, the difference is that in those files the tags that are not decoded correctly are ID3 v1.1 tags. Compare: A file whose tags easytag decodes correctly: http://baza.com/audio/seriously-new-records/manjaki--020905.mp3 $ mpgtx -i manjaki--020905.mp3 Skipped -2 zeroes at start of file mpgtx: AT EOF - please stop me! mmm, this file does not start with a pack, offset: -2 use the desperate_mode switch as the first option -X to search for a header in the whole file! if you want to force the operation. May yield to an endless loop if no valid header is found! Does not even begin with a 00 00 01 xx sequence!

So I think the problem is in reading ID3 v1.1 tags. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Start easytag, set the above mentioned option ("Scanner" > "Process Fields" > "Options" > "ID3 Tag Settings" > "Use non standard character set for reading ID3 tags") to Windows-1251, save options, exit. 2. Download, for example, http://baza.com/audio/2005-live-in-san-francisco/04-vse-napominaet-o-tebe.mp3 3. Run easytag on it. Actual Results: The title tag is not decoded and shown correctly: Âñ¸ íàïîìèíàåò î òåáå Expected Results: It is decoded correctly.
