First let me say I'm not an expert on ID3 tags, but I have been working
on converting some audio types recently so I have had to look up a few
things. There are different versions of ID3 tags and they work with
different encodings, i.e. ISO-8859-1, UTF-16 and UTF-8. And UTF-8
olny works with **ID3v2.4. After a bit-o-googleing I found a message
relateing to your problem:

But as far as i can see you have to use a hex editor to change some
bytes to a different value.

At least this gives you an idea of what the problem is.
