fun fact: when writing id3 tags ffmpeg might IGNORE the text encoding setting if the text you're writing is ascii. There's no option to disable this or force it to use UTF-16-BOM. It'll put in the header that the text is in UTF-16 and write it in ISO-8859
ask me how I know :neofox_floof_explode:
EDIT: the text encoding type is written per-tag, so it's not that bad, but it still breaks in my usecase
EDIT 2: it no longer breaks? I have no idea why my player didn't recognize the id3 metadata previously, but now it works
