The tag editing package "exfalso" (not sure if it is in Etch, I'm 
running unstable) seems to support UTF-8 tag editing. I didn't try 
Russian, but I used the title "Píseň Rusalky o měsíčku" which saved and 
restored successfully. It appears that other MP3 tagging packages do not 
support UTF-8 completely. Anyone care to file more bug reports for the 
media players and tagging tools that they use?

The media player "quodlibet" which requires "exfalso" also displayed 
correctly "Píseň Rusalky o měsíčku" which was stored in a tag of an MP3.
