Yeah, several command line id3 tools read the tag as Unicode (id3v2 being one).
 Playing around with this has also made me think that Gstreamer apps (like
Rhythmbox and Nautilis) are using the id3v1 tag for display.  And according to
some notes I was reading in Easytag (the app I use to edit tags), it says that
id3v1 tags are always saved as single-byte.  So doesn't that mean basically the
id3v1 tags will never fully support Chinese (which requires double-byte)? 
Thus, the problem is not so much about reading it wrong (I guess Gstreamer
reads id3v1 as single-byte as it technically "should") but rather that it would
be better to be using the id3v2 tag for display?  At least, it seems that it
should first look for id3v2 and if it doesn't exist then resort to the id3v1? 
Feel free to correct me if I have muddled up everything here...I'm just a user,
not a developer.
