I manged to get it working with regular strings by building TagLib & my app with -Zc:wchar_t- :D. I'm still having trouble getting unicode stuff to work, but I'm going to play with it more. Thanks for your email, it put me on the right track.<br>

Hi,<div>Thanks for the reply :D. The string is definitely getting mangled. I'm missing something. I tried creating a TagLib::wstring with my path string like so:</div><div><br></div><div>TagLib::wstring myFileNameWString ( (wchar_t*) path, TagLib::String::UTF16 );</div>
<div><br></div><div>and got gibberish.</div><div><br></div><div>I finally noticed that the TagLib::String class stores everything as UTF16BE. My PRUnichar* is really a wchar_t*, which is UTF16 (I think :) ). </div><div><br>
</div><div>I'm still a little confused on how the TagLib::String class works. In the constructor:</div><div><br></div><div>TagLib::String::String<span style="white-space:pre-wrap"> </span>(const wchar_t * s, Type t = UTF16BE)</div>
<div><br></div><div>What is the second parameter for? At first I thought it was the encoding for the first parameter, but reading the docs that isn't so...</div><div><br></div><div>If I understand right, I need to convert my strings from UTF16 encoded wchar_t to UTF16BE before I try to use them with the TagLib::String constructor. Is that right? If it is, is there an easy way to do that, or do I have to dig into the specs for the two encodings?</div>
<div><br></div><div>Thanks again! </div><div><div></div><div class="h5"><div><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Sun, Feb 6, 2011 at 12:58 PM, Jim <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:jmartin92@comcast.net" target="_blank">jmartin92@comcast.net</a>></span> wrote:<br>

</div>At first glance, I can't tell you why using a TagLib String would cause a crash.<br>
Have you tried looking at the string after conversion?<br>
<br>
However, I can tell you why using a char* works.<br>
<br>
Here's the constructor:<br>
<br>
FileRef (FileName fileName, bool readAudioProperties=true,<br>
AudioProperties::ReadStyle audioPropertiesStyle=AudioProperties::Average)<br>
<br>
FileName is a const char*. So that's the constructor you are calling with the<br>
default values.<br>
