I've already tried that and it doesn't work. It only results in a hash ('#') instead of my character.

$ vorbiscomment -w -a test.ogg -t "test=¤" (the euro-sign)
$ ogginfo test.ogg
...
test=#
...

So I booted Windows to see if there was any difference with that version.

c:\> vorbiscomment -w -a test.ogg -t "test=¤" (euro-sign again)
c:\> ogginfo test.ogg
...
test=¤ (euro-sign)
...

No hash here. So I checked the file using the gnu/linux-version.

$ ogginfo /mnt/fat/---/test.ogg
...
test=EUR
...

So when using the Windows version of vorbiscomment I get a different result, I even tried using the input option (the -c switch) using the same file but the results were still different.

Is this a bug in vorbiscomment?
