How to correct the unreadable Russian ID3 tags? Have you ever seen unreadable Russian Abracadabra, which the Russians don't care at all about? For example: Áåñàìý ìó÷î (íà ôðàíöóçñêîì ÿçûêå), did you understand what it is written?
★ Thus, how to correct the unreadable distorted Russian letters and to read what the Russians hide there in the tags?
► Here is the Global Solution: Copy the Correct Russian ID3.mta file into
C:\Users\ %UserName%\AppData\Roaming\Mp3tag\data\actions.
And you will see "Correct Russian ID3" in the MP3Tag \> Actions menu item, click on it and all the Russian distorted letters will be momentally converted into the Readable Russian letters.

There are also forties of the popular `iconv` utility that work with ID3 tags, e.g. `mid3iconv` or `id3iconv`. They support a lot of legacy encodings.

Thanks for reminding it. However, as I remember, I had tried one of such primitive converters, but it ruined the Unicode and UTF-8 tags of a mp3 file, and I had to recover the correct tags of it.
