Sure.

Not sure I'll have a look. But I thought iconv could manage to decide
and convert, but maybe it is a problem if the database says it is
iso-8859-1. Anyway a solution would be to be able manually to say
convert from iso-8859-7 to utf-8.

Actually I'll try later to use iconv on the downloaded track-name file
to see if it works.

Don't know. I can check though.
