    Metadata when CD rippinng in .wav does not support unicode characters.

    Hello just downloaded this software. I always store my CD rips as .wav and several of my CDs are Japanese. Unfortunetly when ripping to a wav file, the Japanese characters in the metadata are replaced with question marks. The files and folders don't do this and this issue does not occur when I use flac. However I would prefer to use wav because I use flac files for songs I bought digitally. Its just how I keep things organized. I do have a software called mp3tag which works to correct the issue. It's just a small inconvenience.

    We write two tag types to wave files, ID3v2 (which do support unicode) and WAVE LIST tags, which do not.

    Your application is only reading the latter, as tagging support for wave is not well implemented.
