Re: [Easytag-mailing] UTF-8 problem

[Jérôme COUDERC <easytag gmail com>]

Hi,


   Which version are you using, the last one 2.1?
   Could you send me the content of the log file to know which encoding 
it is using (C:\Documents and Settings\user_login\Data 
aplikací\.easytag\easytag.log)
    Note that the current version of id3lib doesn't supports id3v2.4 
tags. It is why the strings are displayed incorrectly...

Regards,
Jerome
