Checking for Unicode Tags

by Jim Mar 08, 2008 9:29 AM

After discovering that unicode MP3 tags confuse my Alltel Hue cell phone's music player, I of course needed to fix the broken files. But I didn't want to figure out which they were by trial and error - we have a big music collection!

I cobbled together some code that I had sitting around, and created a little command-line utility that checks mp3 files to see if the tags are unicode.

If you found this post because you're looking for a solution to the same problem, you might find this useful. It requires .NET 2.0. Use the command-line argument -h for instuctions.
