  Well, as a dane, i can tell you this is not true - it /does/ work, just not 
if your tags are done incorrectly :) (that is, id3v1 should always be 
ISO8859-1, meaning that international characters, even Danish ones, get 
garbled), and id3v2 should always be UTF-8, meaning again that if you do 
anything else, it'll get garbled. Some tools unfortunately do it wrong, and 
as such it makes /us/ look bad for insisting on following the standards ;) 
Also, please make sure you're using version 1.4.3 at the very least :)
  Thanks for the kind words too! :D
