Again, I don't know about version 4, but as I said in my last mail, iTunes 5 
now works just fine with all of the files that I've tagged with TagLib.  I 
use UTF-8 by default.

Again, this sounds like a version problem.  I tried this out a few months back 
on a Windows machine and WMP worked just fine with 2.4 tags.

If you've got a real implementation of 2.3 I might be interested.  If you've 
just got something that switches the version as it writes the file then, no, 
I'm naturally not.  But this was covered here already...
