Please keep in mind that this is still broken in like 92% of the world or so. 
You will in general need to use /some/ encoding, you just need to make sure 
TagLib is using the same one.

I'd recommend UTF8 as it's supported by both TagLib and Qt.

Indeed, I finally took a look at the TagLib String API reference 
(http://developer.kde.org/~wheeler/taglib/api/classTagLib_1_1String.html) and 
noted that the function you want is already defined:

QStringToTString(s) (in the Related Functions section).

So don't reinvent the wheel, just use QStringToTString
