not quite correctly, but very usefully ;)

he has a convert-non-utf8-tags-to-utf8-with-the-following-encoding:
editbox

;)

so, imho he tries to interpret the tag data as utf8, and if it fails, he 
uses the encoding specified.


of course that's not that much correct, because:
id3v2.3: latin1 or utf-16
id3v2.4: + utf8

so below 2.4 you cannot use utf8....


btw. you mentioned to convert the tags...

is there ANY tagger on linux that supports the unicode aspects of id3v2 
(read: is able to save non-latin1 data into the tags using utf-16?)
