It appears that the file tags are written with an incorrect encoding. They are expected to be encoded in UTF-8 but they are encoded using Cyrillic Windows-1251 codepage.

 

Which appears to be not conforming to the spec.

 

wav is a Windows file type and Windows itself cannot display it correctly:

 

Properties:

Windows Music:

Windows Media Player:

Also, it's not an issue of Windows/Linux. Here's the ffprobe output on Ubuntu:

VLC seems to be more tolerant to the encoding:

MediaInfo seems to have specific workarounds but only for some tags (which indicates that these are workarounds for out-of-spec cases - otherwise it would properly decode all tags)

 

**Conclusion:** There's not much we can do about it other than changing ffmpeg/ffprobe code.

Hi All!

Luke, Windows and Windows Media Players itself  display it correctly.
