 This morning, I have come across another World Service file generating the 
"Wide character" warning;
 it has pid=p00kdr09. With the workaround suggested, AP (latest binary) tags 
the m4a file, but only
PARTIALLY: The "Comment" and "©lyr" fields (in MediaInfo) contain only the 
first word of the
description, i.e. "Were" (???).
 The long description of the file ("desc" in get_iplayer terminology) can be 
read here:
 http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p00kdr09
I can spot the offending "curly quote"  in the last paragraph, it's in the 
very last "Australia's".
However, I am at a complete loss as to why the description isn't properly 
"written", just its first word :-( .
(I fixed this by opening the m4a with Winamp, copied the description from 
the link above and filled the
"Comment" bit of the tag using Winamp's innate MP4 tagger).
