I found this with google:
http://www.mozilla.org/projects/intl/UniversalCharsetDetection.html

and linux file command can be used (some times it write it is english text 
even if it is danish, and the MPEG detection is a fail)

# file a.txt
a.txt: ISO-8859 text, with no line terminators
# file u.txt
u.txt: MPEG ADTS, layer I, v1, 192 kBits, 48 kHz, Stereo
# file ub.txt
ub.txt: Unicode text, UTF-16, big-endian
# file u8.txt
u8.txt: Unicode text, UTF-8
