having trouble to encode muti-byte char to mp3's title using taglib

[Dongxu Ma]

Hi allen,

Internally taglib stores tag in UTF16 encoding. While old taglib version
will decode
as Latin1 in whatever case by mistake.
A work around is to specify UTF8 as default internal encoding, by something
like this:
<code>
TagLib::ID3v2::FrameFactory *f =
Audio::TagLib::ID3v2::FrameFactory::instance();
f->setDefaultTextEncoding(TagLib::String::UTF8);
TagLib::MPEG::File *i = new TagLib::MPEG::File(path);
i->setID3v2FrameFactory(f);
</code>
