The TODO file says the following, which I haven't followed up on:
Make ID3v2 text encoding a preference as soon as id3lib releases an
unbroken version (hopefully 2.4.0)

tagtool does work in some cases, even if not in all of them. The program
is valuable to me (hence my ITP), and I'm sure it will be valuable to at
least a few others. I don't think a package has to be valuable to
everyone before it is allowed in the archive.

Seemed to work fine for me. How are you testing this?

It seems to work fine for my music collection, and I'm sure it works
fine for others as well, so I see no reason not to upload it to the
archive.
