The difference is that it let-binds coding-system-for-read before
calling the mp3info binary.  And that I removed the iconv call to see
whether that let-binding would be enough.  Apparently it isn't.

OK, can you try the following, then?  I want to avoid calling an
external program unless absolutely necessary.  This file calls
`encode-coding-string' instead, which should (I hope) have the same
effect as your patch.

Also, I noticed that there was a use of 'utf-8 remaining in emms-cache
even after your patch.  I've sent in a patch to fix this just now.
Out of curiosity, what happens now when you set both
emms-cache-file-coding-system and emms-info-mp3info-coding-system to
'gbk?  If that works, it might be a better solution for you than
re-encoding every string via iconv or encode-coding-string.
