3     Plone4ArtistsAudioPatch is small proof of concept patch for
4     Plone4ArtistsAudio package.
5
6     The problem which is addressed in this product is text
7     encoding issues in mp3 audio tags.
8
9     The case.
10
11         If you edit your mp3 tags in your own language (non English)
12         with Windows based mp3 tag editors (winamp for example). The
13         result tags will be saved in Windows default encoding (for
14         Cyrrilic it will be cp1251). The specifications of id3 tags
15         as of version 2.4 define only three options for encoding
16         'Default' (for Latin-1), 'UTF-8' and 'UTF-16'. This mean that
17         if you populate your mp3 audio track id3 tags in non Cyrrilic
18         windows or Linux or Web you in most cases will see some
19         garbled symbols.
20
21     With the product we give the website author, who uploads his mp3
22     track, option to guess the real text encoding of the mp3 tags
23     and convert the strings into UTF.
24
25     The product is not supposed to be used in production (will not be
26     supported) it is published as proposal for Plone4ArtistsAudio
27     authors to include the feature in the Plone4ArtistsAudio codebase.
28
29     The Plone4ArtistsAudioPatch was tested with
30     Plone4ArtistsAudio1.0-alpha1
