Hi, Release 0.4.0 of id3lib-ruby fixes problems with reading Unicode frames. It is recommended to upgrade to this version. Get it through RubyGems or from: http://id3lib-ruby.rubyforge.org/ == Description id3lib-ruby provides a Ruby interface to the id3lib C++ library for easily editing ID3 tags (v1 and v2) like with pyid3lib. == Changes === 0.4.0 (r41) * Fixed Unicode problems (bug 4768). * Renamed ID3Lib::API methods to be more like the id3lib method names. E.g. the GetType() method is now named get_type instead of type. === 0.3.1 (r32) * Added check and messages for -lstdc++ and -lz to extconf.rb. * Updated to SWIG 1.3.29. Regards, Robin Stocker
