Title:
  eyeD3 doesn't parse certain id3 tags

Status in eyed3 package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: eyed3

  Ubuntu release: 9.10 (Karmic)
  Package: eyeD3 0.6.17-1

  Recently I retagged all of my music with MusicBrainz's Picard. Where
  possible, Picard will include 'Album Artist', 'Album Artist Sort
  Order', 'Artist', and 'Artist Sort Order' in the id3 tags. I use eyeD3
  in a bash script that parses each music file and subsequently collects
  certain information into a text file. I encountered problems with this
  when eyeD3 didn't parse particular files providing an error message
  along the lines of "'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0xc3 in position
  1: ordinal not in range(128)"

  The only files eyeD3 produced this error with were files containing
  non-English characters, examples of some of the artists: múm, Sigur
  Rós, Stafrænn Hákon. Furthermore, when I examined it a bit more I
  found that if I removed the 'Album Artist Sort Order' tag and left all
  other tags intact then eyeD3 would parse all files correctly including
  the files that had failed before and even artists who were tagged
  entirely in a different script e.g. Пётр Ильич Чайковский

  Steps to reproduce:
  1) Add 'Album Artist Sort Order' tag (some taggers have a different name for this tag) to a music file and provide a value containing any non-English character e.g. æ, á
  2) Scan the file with eyeD3 which should result in similar error mentioned above
