Unicode Question

That's the point - I don't want the user to have to guess. The  
library 'knows', because the encoding information is in the id3 tag  
it's just read, what I'm wondering about is simplest wasy to let the  
user of the library know.

So if the 'client' app asks the library for the title of a file, the  
library needs to let the client know that it's "Abbey Road", as  
unicode or plain text, depending on how the original tag was encoded,  
so the client can display it properly.

I guess what I'm asking is what most developers would prefer to be  
returned when using the library.

Best,

Mark
