Convert ID3 tags in MP3 files(but not only) from ANSI to unicode format

ID3 ANSI2Unicode Convert

ID3 ANSI2Unicode Convert for .NET Core

ID3 ANSI2Unicode Convert for .NET Core is an effort to port an entire mp3 library from ANSI encoding to Unicode in order to have better support using modern players that don't support ANSI.

This utility uses the IDSharp for.NET Core library but it can also be used with the id3 library, if wanted for any reason.

NOTE - The code in this repo has not been thoroughly tested.

This version of the utility should support .NET Core 1.1 and 2.0, as well as .NET Standard 1.3, 1.5 and 2.0 but was tested only against 2.x.

Future Plans

• A javascript version; probably based on Node.js

id3_ansi2unicode's Issues

ID3.Net

Hi,
I am using the ID3.net in this small utility I wrote.
Hope I am not being rude but I wanted to know if there is any chance that you two, @jcoutch and @JeevanJames, will join forces?
You are working on the same project but jcoutch has Nuget support while JeevanJames has a more complete library. Maybe there are more big differences that I missed out.

BTW, I am using also IdSharpCore if you need some code references.
