I downloaded an mp3 tagger awhile back and noticed that when the mp3s with the tags were put on my site they appeared on my player as binary (or ascii above chr$ 128) characters... but only when streamed/dl'd over the web, the mp3 files still on my machine were unaffected. I stopped using the tagger. There may be some setting in the tagger to be sure that the tags are text only, but it wasn't important enough for me to troubleshoot.
