Apply Override Charset to Wav Info Tags
If enabled then for Wav files that have a List chunk it will apply the override charset to fields listed in Apply the Override Charset to these fields in the Wav Info tag when reading instead of reading as if encoded as ISO-8859-1
Apply Override Charset to ID3 Tags
A number of formats use ID3v2:
- Mp3
- Wav
- Aiff
- Dsf
ID3v23 can encode metadata using IS0-8859-1 or UTF-16. Now UTF-16 can store most characters but it always uses 2 bytes for every character and for this reason was not so liked. So sometimes applications would set the text encoding field to 0 indicating IS0-88591-1 but write using their local Charset instead.
The problem can also occur in ID3v24 but it less likely because ID3v24 supports UTF-8, and UTF-8 only uses one byte for English and common punctutation, and then multiple characters for other characters as neccessary.
If the option enabled then for any format that uses ID3 tags it will apply the override charset to fields listed in Apply the Override Charset to these fields in ID3 tags that have default encoding flag set instead of reading as if encoded as ISO-8859-1
