MusicBrainz Picard is the thing that rewrote all of my Russian composers in Cyrillic and after that I was never able to find any of them ever again.

musicbrainz takes a hard line on the correctness of metadata and will preferably use the original names of composers, bands, etc. that includes cyrillic, kanji, and even symbols like david bowie's "".

There are ways to make this work better or ways around it:
