Genre (and possibly other) tag value encoding problem

[Former user]

I have a music collection with Genres that contain parentheses. For some of these tracks, the parentheses are dropped when using the getFirst or getAll APIs. The tags are correctly present when inspected via other tag editing tools and also present if I use the getFields method instead. So, e.g. if you have a genre like "Pop Music (XYZ)", it will be returned as "Pop Music XYZ" when using the getFirst or getAll methods. It's possibly due to some encoding related regex char replacement.

For ID3v23 the brackets for Genre values have meaning, they mean refinement, So I would need you to email [e-mail] with an example file as well as code to look at this
