Bug#998212: easytag: overwrites tags containing UTF8 data with random rubbish

[Norbert Preining]

Hi

> What kind of files / tags did you process with easytag? If these files

that were mp3, not sure about what version of tags since they were gone
afterwards. At least they displayed fine in all music players I used.
But yes, I guess it is common here in Japan that id3v1 tags are coded in
UTF8 (or even ShiftJIS).

I still consider overwriting tags when there was an error during
preparation, irrespective of the correctness of the original tags,
a serious problem. easytag should *not* write broken tags.

Best

Norbert
