How to get ID3 in correct encoding?

Question

Java

I use MediaMetadataRetriever to get tags, but Russian tags are sometimes in ISO-8859-1, which should be read when translated into Windows-1251, but this doesn’t happen for me and it displays hieroglyphs all the time
.
Must be: I want to be with you

String TEXT = META.extractMetadata( MediaMetadataRetriever.METADATA_KEY_TITLE );
new String( TEXT.getBytes( "ISO-8859-1" ), "Windows-1251" ); // Практически всегда выводит иероглифы

Found a library and decided to use it to test

mp3file = new MP3File( FILE );
new String( mp3file.getID3v1Tag().getSongTitle().getBytes( "ISO-8859-1" ), "Windows-1251" ) // Выводит текст как надо, но иногда вместо кириллических символов проскальзывают латинские

Tell me how to determine the encoding and decode it into a readable form. I think there is a native way

Answer 1

This is the problem with the standard itself. Tags should always be in ISO-8859-1, but in reality they are usually in national encodings.
I think the best solution is to let the user choose their own encoding.

Answer 2

There is a library for automating encoding guesses: enca cihar.com/software/enca can be picked up using ndk,
