Welp, thought I was pretty clear, Guess not!

I thought what follows was obvious, but here you go: Don't give something other than UTF-8 to a library that expects UTF-8, or use a different library.

More commonsense, common knowledge!
BTW, The library does not expect UTF-8, It's capable of the 4 encoding standards for ID3 tags!

Problems in output are meaningless if there's a problem in the input. You need to fix the inability of the module to handle the tags first.

No input problem, Works fine in C/C++, not in Perl!

Some? You just said *all* non-ASCII character don't work. Which one is it?

ALL artists/album names with high ASCII characters (Ö,é) do not display correctly!!!

Only a couple of those artists/albums with high ASCII characters have the Malformed UTF-8 error!

Is that clearer ...
