Accented ID tag munged when converting .flac to .mp3

[rschofield]

After converting .flac files to .mp3, accented characters in the ID tags are not transferred correctly. Am using the latest version -- 10.0.

E.g.,

.flac tag:

[2] Kräftig bewegt, doch nicht zu schnell
Bernard Haitink, Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra
Christmas Matinée concerts

.mp3 tag:

[2] Kräftig bewegt, doch nicht zu schnell
Bernard Haitink, Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra
Christmas Matinée concerts

The new dMC writes UTF-8 tags, your player must not be compatible. I will have to make an option to not write such tags. Look out for a new beta in the coming weeks.

Those ID tags were displayed by both Winamp 2.91 and Tag&Rename 3.0.1. I've since installed Winamp 5.0 but have corrected the tags in the .mp3 files and deleted the original .flac files. More .flac tracks should be available shortly and when they are I will look to see how Winamp 5.0 handles the converted tags.
