ID3 improperly decodes. about tinytag HOT 3 CLOSED

Hi justanr,

Thanks for your report and investigation! Could you please upload one of the tracks that didn't decode properly, so I can reproduce the issue and improve the test-suite?

In any case: you might be able to fix it yourself in the def _decode_string(self, b) call of the ID3 class. If that doesn't work out for you, I'll try to fix it on the weekend 🌵

Here's the file in question above. I'm free today, so I'll probably spend a chunk of it hacking away at this and seeing what I can break.

Upon further testing of a known clean file, I believe that the actual ID3 tags are buggered (and given the pervasiveness of this issue, I think I know where to submit a bug report to, though further testing in this regard needed). This should have been my first port of call; however, caffeine deprivation does odd thing to one's brain.

Known clean track:

 ('album', 'Relationship Of Command'),
 ('artist', 'At the Drive-In'),
 ('audio_offset', 2062575),
 ('bitrate', 128.0),
 ('duration', 465.21945101093604),
 ('filesize', 7443510),
 ('samplerate', 44100),
 ('title', 'Non-Zero Possibility'),
 ('track', '11'),
 ('track_total', None),
 ('year', '2000')

It appears the encoding issue only presents after using an autotagger, which I now believe to be borking it up in some fashion (or a library it depends on is the culprit). I intend to pursue this all the way down.

After Autotagger Use:

 ('album', '\x03Relationship of Command'),
 ('artist', '\x03At the Driveâ\x80\x90In'),
 ('audio_offset', 2062575),
 ('bitrate', 128.0),
 ('duration', 465.21945101093604),
 ('filesize', 7443510),
 ('samplerate', 44100),
 ('title', '\x03Nonâ\x80\x90Zero Possibility'),
 ('track', '\x0311'),
 ('track_total', '11'),
 ('year', '2000')

I appreciate the timely response, however. :)
