Funny you say that; I've always been unimpressed with the stuff that runs on
free unixlike OSs due to their spotty Unicode handling and
obviously-ID3-limited comment dialog boxes. Peter Pawlowski's (the
author of foobar2000 and the Winamp plugin) comment entry
forms don't suffer from those limitations. Last I checked, XMMS will blindly
let you tag Vorbis files in ISO-8859-1 if your system is set up that way, in
violation of the spec.

I forgot to mention that I use XMMS when I'm in OS X; as far as I've tried,
it's the Least Bad Option Available. Not that I'd recommend installing
X11.app, the X SDK, Fink, FinkCommander, and XMMS to anyone I know with the
possible exception of one of the physics profs. As opposed to one of the
political science profs.
