Hello again Michael,
I've been ripping/encoding in Linux for a long time and I never had this kind of problem. I transfer my mp3's to Windows and vice-vesa and they all look fine (character-wise). I know what you are talking (I have lots of songs which Spanish special characters etc).
I think you may be having problems with your LANG setting. Please try doing it all over (rip..encode... on Linux) BUT with "en_US" as the value for your LANG environment variable. Try it and see if it works.
export LANG=en_US sh ~/flac2lame.sh worked.
Interestingly enough - the tags were fine in flac and ogg without doing that. Is that because vorbis tags are utf-8 aware and mp3 tags are not?
I'm guessing so - thanks for the response!
